I am currently studying for a Master's degree in Social Anthropology of Development at School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London, on a Felix scholarship. I am also an editorial manager for Gram Vaani Community Media, a social entrepreneurial venture based in IIT, Delhi. I have worked as a journalist previously for The Hindu newspaper and Frontline magazine in Chennai. My writings have also appeared in Biblio, a popular review magazine, and Governance Now, a fortnightly specialising in policy issues. I also have published a book of poetry from Writers Workshop, Calcutta, in 2006.
