I used to interview world leaders, CEOs, celebrities and hundreds of ordinary citizens as a New York-based broadcast journalist. Some years ago, I put aside the tripods and mics, and swapped the questions. I now build worlds as an author. My first novel, working title - Monsoon Gods, is a coming-of-age story set in 1990s India. Writing it has been the perfect excuse for daydreaming to Hans Zimmer soundtracks, first in Harlem while nursing my first-born, then in Brooklyn cafes, and now in Westchester, very often at a high-ceilinged coworking space overlooking the Hudson river.
As a multimedia journalist with prior experience in Mumbai, I’ve produced, and reported on camera for leading television news outlets, including Reuters Video News, Associated Press Television, and India’s leading English broadcast network, Times Now. My print stories have been published in The Quint, Reuters, India Today, The Times of India, The American Bazaar, Khaleej Times, International Business Times, and American Kahani.
As a speaker, I’ve moderated several media panels including at TiEcon New York and Fuqua School of Business, Duke University. I hold a Master’s in Broadcast Journalism from New York University on a Ford Foundation scholarship, and a Master’s in English Literature from Mumbai University. I live in the New York City metropolitan area, where I am currently preparing to find a publisher for Monsoon Gods, while researching my next book and raising two baseball-crazy boys, alongside a shy and super-cuddly cat.
