My journey with communication began in the most unexpected way — flipping through the glossy pages of Lonely Planet magazine. As a child, I wasn’t particularly drawn to the articles. Instead, I lingered on the photographs, absorbing the colours, faces, and stories they hinted at. Little did I know, my inability to sit still and read the text — and my instinct to follow the visuals — would one day shape my understanding of communication itself.

​

That early curiosity led me to pursue a degree in Mass Communication and Journalism. Moving to Delhi for my studies pulled me out of my comfort zone and into the dynamic world of media, where I began to understand the weight of a story well told.

At ThePrint, I stepped into the newsroom as a video journalist — chasing stories, asking questions, and producing content that aimed to make people pause and reflect. But while I was chasing external truths with a mic and camera, I was also beginning an internal search. My spiritual journey deepened during this phase, eventually leading me to my first meditation initiation with the Isha Foundation. These two parallel journeys — one outward and investigative, the other inward and contemplative — continue to shape my voice and vision.

​

Over time, I found myself drawn to work that wasn't just about communication, but about communication for change. My time at organisations like Breakthrough, Digital Green, and Unfiltered taught me how strategy, empathy, and behavioural insight come together to shape impactful narratives. These experiences helped me zoom out from the camera lens and view communication through a broader theoretical and systemic lens — whether it was gender-sensitive storytelling, development communication, or capacity building for underserved communities.

Now, as I pursue my Master’s in Media, Communication and Development at the London School of Economics, I’m deepening this practice with a global perspective.
