I am an independent multiple award winning journalist and a documentary photographer based in India’s Maharashtra state. In the past five years, I have been honoured with seven national and international journalism awards  and have received three prestigious fellowships. 

My work has been featured in more than 30 national and international publications, including MIT Tech Review, The Daily Beast, Verge, USA Today, Baffler magazine, Progressive Magazine, Scroll, Indian Express, Christian Science Monitor, British Medical Journal, Equal Times, and New Frame.

I’ve been extensively reporting on climate change, floods, mental health, human-wildlife conflict, agrarian crisis, vanishing livelihoods, and several other subjects through the lived experiences of everyday people.

I am also the Co-Founder of Insight Walk – a non-profit that offers teaching fellowships to rural community women. These women work with children of their villages to ensure every child has access to contextual education of their choice. At Insight Walk, every student chooses their learning by designing their own syllabus.
