More about me
I'd say I'm still somewhat new to the audio industry. I've worked for two years in India's longest running international radio network, Indigo 91.9 FM, as a weekend show host and producer. Regarding the former, I created and co-hosted The Sunday Scoop, a show that analyzed major conflicts in the music industry, reviewed new releases within the genres of mainstream pop and K-pop, and turned the spotlight on up-and-coming artists in the independent music scene in India. With this show, my colleague and I wanted to try and change the way people interacted with music. So, we pushed people to look at an artist’s work through a different lens, to learn something new about a song they’d heard a dozen times before, to start conversations about happenings in the music industry without feeling too distanced from it all.
As a producer, I've primarily learnt how to tailor content to appeal to a diverse audience. Producing The Morning Show in particular, has taught me how to source and structure a wide range of interesting topics for the show, from civic issues and global trends to entertainment news. So, I understand the importance of presenting content in a creative way, to keep listeners engaged, informed and most importantly, ensuring that the show's content resonated with the public.
I’ve also had a lot of experience in briefing guests from diverse backgrounds and in ensuring they were comfortable before going ON-AIR. Additionally, I’ve produced a number of interviews and it's a process I've come to enjoy immensely. I've had the pleasure of producing interviews for both local and international musicians, this includes Ricky Kej, Ananya Birla, Ava Max, Katy Perry and more.
Aside from my work as a producer and show host, I've been heavily involved in creating engaging digital content for the station's website and social media platforms. So, I've learnt how to multitask efficiently and stick to tight deadlines.
I recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Leeds and I'm currently looking to explore the audio industry in the UK. If there's an opportunity to work as an assistant producer (be it in radio or the podcasting space), that would be ideal! But, I'm also open to internships, as my primary goal is to gain some work experience and brush up on my skills.
