Identity

The Person
Behind the Story

Rooted in Hindi journalism, driven by the voices that rarely reach the headlines.

Namaste! I am a postgraduate student of Hindi Journalism at IIMC, New Delhi — one of India's most prestigious mass communication institutes.

My work focuses on bridging rural India and mainstream digital media. I specialize in multimedia storytelling, using data visualization and mobile journalism (MoJo) to bring authentic stories from the heartland to the screen.

I believe that every farmer, every laborer, every voice from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities deserves to be heard — and I am committed to telling those stories with integrity, depth, and compassion.
