Introduction

Hi, I'm a writer and journalist focusing on gender, education, health, labour and their intersections. I am currently working with questions of structural and gendered inequalities in the spheres of education and health, through narrative storytelling that goes beyond immediate news developments.

While I am based in Delhi, my work takes me across North India. Alongside narrative and news writing, I have worked on photo essays and video stories, and am currently engaging with new formats and methods of storytelling. Over the past seven years, I've reported for The Hindu, The Quint, The Indian Express, and my work has also appeared in People's Archive of Rural India (PARI) and Waging Nonviolence.
