About

I’ve been an independent journalist reporting on the intersection of beats such as climate change, public health, and gender. I study the people most directly affected by political power structures and the mechanisms behind those structures.

Currently, I’m a second-year graduate student at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, specializing in data journalism and business reporting. Learning from the best in the field has been a great experience and I feel confident about my skills in all aspects of journalism.

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.
