Hi.

I’m a multimedia journalist, inspired and informed by the complex societal fabric that Indians navigate daily. Over almost a decade, I’ve had the opportunity to report in Delhi, Maheshwar, Kolkata, Havana, and Chicago, writing stories across beats including art, media, social policy, and literary culture.

Currently, I’m a features writer at Mint Lounge. Here, I write on literary culture and the photographic arts. The aim is to bridge any gaps between creators and consumers, and to spotlight conversations that may fall through the cracks between everyday news cycles.

In December 2021, a reported personal essay I’d written on the cultural phenomenon of keeping cats as pets, was published in Cat People, an anthology published by Simon & Schuster India. The book is available on Amazon, and at most local bookstores in India. :)

In November 2018, I was accepted into the Out of Eden Walk & National Geographic Society’s Slow Journalism Workshop where I was mentored by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Salopek and visual journalist Arati Kumar Rao.

I hold an M.A. from the Department of English at the University of Delhi, and an M.S. in Journalism from the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. My work has also been published in The New Indian Express, The Voice of Fashion, The Hindu, Literary Hub, Hindustan Times, and Pacific Standard.
