Professional Summary
After completing my post graduation, I took up a writing gig with Radio Mirchi, where I got to experience working with brands in an agency setup. I then ventured into the magazine world with a half-editorial, half-branded role at GQ. I also worked with Grazia before eventually deciding to go out on my own.
As a freelance writer, I have worked for leading publications such as GQ, Vogue, Grazia, Man’s World, Harper’s Bazaar, and Nat Geo Traveller India. I have written for leading brands such Red Bull, Tinder, and Foodhall. My experience has equipped me with all the skills needed to ideate, write, proof-read, edit, and modify engaging content for all mediums.
I like to think of myself as a storyteller. My experience as a lifestyle journalist and brand consultant has prepared me to narrate all kinds of stories, be it editorial or native, long-form or short-form, research-oriented or imaginative.

I'm an avid reader and an aspiring novelist. I have finished writing my debut novel, a modern-day romance comedy. When I'm not working, you can find me working out—I train as an aerialist, pole dancer, and slackliner.
