about us
We live in a world of internet abundance—so many wonderful things to do, see and discover. Yet we feel overwhelmed rather than blessed, drowning in clickbait, copypasta listicles, lazily written guides and all that blah blah. Advisory—whose name reflects its exact purpose— helps you navigate the plenitude, and skip the garbage—it's the culture geek we all need in our lives. We offer thoughtful lists on what to watch, listen to or read; trusty guides to travel and art; lively essays on food and pop culture. This is the good stuff, curated by humans for humans, served with a healthy dose of humour. Zero ChatGPT involved.
So sign up below for our free newsletter, published every Saturday, full of stuff that's fancy-schmancy, moving, silly,
mainstream, cool, weird and underground, funny, entertaining, and everything in between—handcrafted by a small but mighty
team of nerds.
Important point to note: We never ever misuse or sell your personal information. We don't do tacky:)

Lakshmi Chaudhry
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.
Akhil Sood
I am a culture writer, editor, and musician with a weakness for buying books I’ll never read. I’m the editor at Advisory and my other writing can be found online or at old-fashioned magazine stalls. I spend my free (and paid) time searching for new music and places to eat at.
Mekhala Singhal
I am a writer and an artist with a background in the social sciences. My past professional experiences include working in film, theatre, art curation, and arts/festival management. When I’m not working, I’m busy baking birthday cakes for my friends, solving the daily cryptic crossword in the newspaper, or trying unsuccessfully to finish my various personal creative projects.
Devarsi Ghosh
I am a Torrent-era cinephile, journalist-critic since 2016 and a baby screenwriter selling my wares. The professional rigmarole began at India Today and steadied itself at Scroll before diving into the angry waters of freelancing. Meanwhile, I have created a thriller audio series for a major production house—while I wait to hear back from producers. Free time? Films, books, cooking, and sleep.
