I am an India-based freelance journalist reporting on how people live with history, food, health, and environmental change. My work often sits at the intersection of culture, everyday economies, and public health, shaped by field reporting and close observation. I have reported for publications including The New York Times, National Geographic, BBC, Nikkei Asia, The Guardian, Nature Medicine, The British Medical Journal, Smithsonian Magazine, Hakai, South China Morning Post, as well as Indian newspapers and digital publications. I have seven years of reporting experience and am a fellow of the East-West Center’s Cross-Border Reporting programme.
