Welcome! With 16 years of impactful experience, including 15 as a journalist with India's top news brands like Mint, Hindustan Times, and The Tribune, I'm a seasoned expert in public policy and communication. I craft compelling narratives that resonate, leveraging a deep understanding of key sectors including Agriculture, Environment, Infrastructure and Business within the Indian context. My journalistic background, including roles as Assistant Editor at Outlook Publishing and reporter at DNA Newspaper and Down to Earth Magazine, has equipped me with unparalleled insight into public policy, climate change, sustainable development and economic trends. As the former Head of Corporate Communications at Light (a leading NBFC), I orchestrated comprehensive communication strategies and spearheaded CSR initiatives for 2.5 years, elevating brand reputation and C-suite visibility. I now integrate AI-driven tools to enhance content creation, refine communication strategies and deliver data-backed insights, ensuring your message is not just heard, but truly impactful. Whether you need a sharp journalist for in-depth reports, a strategic PR manager to shape public perception or an expert to create engaging video content and manage CSR programs, I bring a unique blend of media acumen and corporate communication leadership. Let's connect and transform your communication goals into tangible success.

Hello there, After 15 years of working across journalism, research, and media, I’ve realised something important: the term “content writer” no longer captures what many of us actually do. Writing, for me, has never been just about producing words. It’s about: • deciding what deserves attention • researching and verifying before publishing • understanding political, cultural, and reputational context • shaping narratives that can stand up to scrutiny In 2026, with AI generating text at scale, this distinction matters more than ever. What organisations increasingly need isn’t more content — it’s editorial judgment, credibility, and clarity. I currently work as an independent journalist and media practitioner, collaborating with publications, platforms, and institutions on: • long-form analysis and commentary • research-backed writing and reports • narrative and thought-leadership development • editorial consulting for sensitive or high-stakes topics If you’re looking for writing that brings depth, nuance, and responsibility — rather than volume — I’m always open to conversations and collaborations. In the age of automated AI-generated content, expert-led authority content has gotten even more valuable. Bringing in my real-world experience as a journalist, I will help you not just write content but create a unique brand voice that integrates your background story and positions your business/enterprise in a relevant narrative frame to generate maximum buzz. I bring in 15 years of reporting, researching and editorial judgment to help you craft content that provides original insight (not recycled web fluff) and credit analysis. My specialisation: Narrative Content Case-Studies Cultural Storytelling Brand Documentaries ( written) Founders' Journeys Institutional History Pieces High-Stakes Content: Research-backed blogs. Geopolitical/International Affairs Analysis Oped Columns Long-Form Academic Style Research Articles Hybrid Roles: Writer + AI Editor: Edit AI drafts Fact-check AI content and bring it in line with our in-house requirements. Rewrite for voice, ethics, and context.

Top rated content writer on Upwork 100 percent job success score proven track record of adhering to deadlines 15 years of writing and journalism experience writing experience across multiple niches strong research and critical thinking skills strong academic background ( MA International Journalism University of Leeds ) timely clear communication with the client I am a bilingual poet ( write poetry in English & Hindi ) with 2 collections of English poetry to my credit.

I am a super motivated, diligent worker and believe in giving my 100 percent to the assignments I undertake. I believe the key to perfection lies in timely and clear communication with the client to have a crystal clear idea of their expectations.
