I founded Broadsheet Daily and earlier co-founded Firstpost.com. My past work life includes working
and
writing for lots of places, including Wired, the Nation, Vogue, Columbia Journalism Review
etc.
As for the rest, I live with a badly behaved menagerie that includes one child, two dogs and a
boyfriend—who test my superhuman patience every day. They are all alive and accounted for…as of now.
I am a black coffee addict who moonlighted as a journalist prior to this. I have written for
publications like ThePrint, The Wire and The Hindu. I studied literature for the better part of my
life and it still remains my first love.
In my downtime, you can find me trying to cook dishes from across the world, reading or watching crime
fiction and looking up the most random trivia.
I am an introvert with a journalism degree, and an avid interest in film theory and the arts. After
handling varied freelance projects and a short stint at content writing, I’ve now joined the splainer
team.
In my leisure time, I’m either travelling or discovering and analysing a new film or TV
show. But on most days, you will find me binge-watching anime.
I am an activist, social justice worker and now newly converted journalist. I was the founder of a financial literacy initiative and also worked on improving the lives of children living in orphanages.
However, my dream is to shack up in a cabin full of books by a river in the woods—and be a full-time reader someday.
I’m a Literature student with a love of writing. I’ve spent time in print and digital media organisations (WorldWide Media, Culture Machine, BuzzFeed India), made videos, and experimented with content for start-ups, before joining splainer.
Off the clock, I can be found watching a movie or an F1 race, planning a new tattoo, cooking my heart out, or finding occasions to wear a saree.
I am a music and pop culture enthusiast who has written for publications like VICE India, Mint Lounge and Times of India. I have been associated with the independent music industry for over a decade and have covered the scene and contributed extensively to communications (PR) efforts in the same.
When not planning the Weekend Advisory calendar–I’m attending a good indie gig, window shopping for gemstone jewellery or making specifically insular playlists.
