About Me
It all began on a rainy afternoon in 2007 during my final year of B.Com. A chance glimpse at a newspaper ad seeking teenage journalists did it, coupled with the urge to build my extracurricular portfolio. Soon, I was freelancing as a campus reporter for Just Like That, a youth magazine by the TOI Group. And then there was no looking back.
In the decade since, I’ve worked as a content junior at a digital agency, ghostwritten medical literature for a homoeopathy clinic, and even appeared for the CAT and NMAT, which helped me revisit the rules of English grammar and vocabulary. But a freelance travel-planning gig in the interim made me realise my true love—full-time writing—so I gave up my MBA dream to pursue my calling.
I’m grateful to have spent three years each in the editorial departments of Spenta Multimedia and Condé Nast India, two of the country’s biggest media behemoths. And when life and spondylosis happened, I went full-time freelance and dedicated a majority of my time to penning my first book.
My work has been featured in Condé Nast Traveller India, Architectural Digest India, Indiatimes, Fodor’s Travel, Film Companion, among others, with travel, lifestyle, entertainment, health, and children’s literature being my areas of specialisation. I’m also in the process of creating a bank of screenplays and TV concepts.
