More about me
I’m an Indian-American NYC-based journalist and audio producer who has worked for Sony Podcasts, Los Angeles Times, William Morris Endeavor, Amazon, Wondery, VICE News, and more. I’ve reported, written and produced several limited run series – from chart-topping true-crime to heart-wrenching memoir. Six podcasts I’ve worked on have been in the Apple Top 20, three of which ranked #1. Most notably, I worked on Dr. Death, which was downloaded by over 50 million people in just the first month and later made into a TV show for NBC. I also hosted and produced Love Under Lockdown, a radio diary series about the first six weeks of COVID lockdown in Los Angeles, which was Webby-nominated for Best Documentary.
I graduated with a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst, and received a Graduate Certificate in Radio Documentary from the Salt Institute at Maine College of Arts. In 2017, I was chosen to be an AIR New Voices Scholar.
Side note — I’m writing a novel that has nothing and everything to do with what I’ve worked on. I was even a 2024 Periplus Finalist for it. Ping if you’re interested ;)
