About Me

Writer & Communications Professional based in Bengaluru, India

I'm a communications professional with 9+ years of experience across social impact, labour rights, media, and research organisations. My work specialises in research communication, editorial development, and crafting clear narratives that connect complex issues with wider public audiences.

Over the years, I've worked with organisations including Cividep India, the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), Khabar Lahariya, and Milaap — producing everything from long-form features and research reports to newsletters and digital content strategies.

My approach combines rigorous research with audience-focused storytelling. I believe that clear, thoughtful writing can make complex issues accessible and drive meaningful change — whether it's labour rights, urban policy, or social development.

I hold an M.A. in Sustainable Development Practice from TERI University and a B.A. (Hons) in Economics from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University.
