ABOUT 2

I’M AN INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, BASED IN NEW DELHI SINCE 2016.

Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of covering a wide array of stories across India, on issues including urban poverty and inequality, environmental issues including water and pollution crises, cultural heritage, religious intolerance, and the economy. I also reported extensively on India’s 2019 general election and from Cox’s Bazar on the Rohingya refugee crisis in 2018. I won a South Asian Journalism Award for Outstanding Arts & Culture Reporting in 2017 for my story on the destruction of the Hall of Nations, an iconic modernist building in New Delhi.

I’m a multimedia journalist with the ability to work across platforms. My bylines include The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, CityLab, and The Times of London. I’ve also worked as a television correspondent for Deutsche Welle and produced videos for Al Jazeera English and The Hindustan Times.

I was previously based in Washington DC, where I worked for Al Jazeera English’s award-winning social media based discussion program, The Stream. In over four years there, I worked in many different roles, from producing the live interviews of more than 400 guests from dozens of countries, to line producing shows, writing scripts, and leading a team of producers, editors, hosts and technical staff to bring the live show to air. I produced shows on topics ranging from Black Lives Matter in the United States to immigration laws in Denmark, sexism in the online gaming world and life after surviving a coma. Other shows I worked on were nominated for Online Journalism and GLAAD awards.

I grew up as a third culture kid between Australia, Thailand and the United States, with roots in India. I’ve been lucky to continue globetrotting as an adult, spending significant amounts of time in Malaysia, Egypt, Turkey, and Vietnam in addition to working in Singapore and India.
