Born and raised in Mumbai, my roots run deeper than my love for coffee—though let’s be honest, that’s a pretty deep brew! With two decades of experience in investigative journalism, I’ve navigated the murky waters of political analysis and social issues, wielding my pen like a sword to uncover the truth. My book, Who Will Bell The Cow?, dives into the contentious world of India’s anti-cow slaughter movement, tackling a topic as spicy as a good curry.
Over the years, storytelling has morphed from a mere passion into a purpose. This evolution led me into the realm of digital media strategy, where I combat “information pollution” with accuracy and a dash of flair. I’m not just about reporting; I’m on a mission to help others navigate the chaotic media landscape. I’m teaching journalism students about the ever-evolving newsroom, fact-checking techniques or conducting media literacy training for social workers and activists. My goal is clear: make complex topics accessible and transform dry subjects into engaging narratives.
Fluent in English, Marathi, and Hindi, now learning Mandarin (HSK1), my work spans both print and digital media, allowing me to connect across linguistic and cultural divides. As a digital strategist today, I collaborate with brands and individuals to craft engaging narratives on social media, running campaigns that resonate with real audiences.
I’m also exploring the potential of AI and digital verification tools, and I'm convinced they can enhance human connection rather than hinder it. With a firm belief in partnerships where all stakeholders find value, I’m dedicated to meaningful storytelling that leaves a lasting impact in our fast-paced media world. So grab your coffee—let’s stir up some conversation!
