I'm a writer of fiction, pursuing my MFA at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Previously, I was a full-time creative producer based in Mumbai, India. I was also a part of the SouthAsia Speaks Fellowship's fiction cohort of 2024 where I was working on a collection of short stories. My fiction and non-fiction has been published in The Bombay Lit Mag, Hammock Mag, Himal, Spacebar Mag, and The Alipore Post. I was long-listed for the Toto Funds the Arts Award for Creative Writing in 2022, and was a part of the Write Beyond Borders fellowship in 2021. ​
I graduated from Ashoka University with a degree in English & Creative Writing in 2023.

*** I've been writing (and online) since I was eleven, so I have random digital ephemera strewn across the web. I made a website as a single source of truth.
