About

I am a journalist covering the intersection of climate change, public health and gender equity. My work focuses on the lives of those most affected by political power structures and the systems that shape those dynamics.

I am currently a second-year graduate student at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, specializing in data journalism and business reporting. This program has sharpened my skills in storytelling, data analysis and investigative reporting, preparing me to tackle complex issues with clarity and depth.

In the past, my reporting has taken me to different regions within West Bengal, India, from the mangroves of Sundarbans to the silicosis-affected villages of South Bengal. I’ve written long-form features, profiles, and investigations into the various ways that the political power structures affect the most marginalized among us — the gig workers, the tiger widows, the COVID widows, the ASHA workers, and several others. 

My work has appeared in leading news publications like BBC Future, National Public Radio, Undark, Logic magazine, Women’s Media Center, Ms. Magazine, Atmos, Vice, South China Morning Post, The Globe and Mail, Whetstone Magazine, The National News, TRT World, AFAR, The New Humanitarian, IndiaSpend and others.
