Prem Panicker is an Indian cricket journalist.[1] He is one of the co-founders of The Peepli Project along with Aarti Kumar-Rao and Kalyan Varma, that is now looking for funding.[2]

He was one of a handful of journalists who helped found Rediff (Nasdaq: REDF). He was based in New York City, as editor of India Abroad, the largest Indian-American newspaper, after that paper was bought by Rediff. He was Yahoo! India's Managing Editor for five years before he quit in 2014.[3] Currently, he is based in Bangalore.

He translated the book, Randamoozham from Malayalam in the serialized form on his blog.[4] The original explores the Mahabharata, through the viewpoint of Bhima. This was converted into a book in the form of a single PDF document for free, called Bhimsen, in 2009.[5][6]
