I am a food explorer and storyteller, interested in the intersection of food, people and place, and how these elements influence identity, culture and food systems at large. I enjoy travelling to document regional food cultures within their historical, geographic and political contexts. 

​​

My stories have been published in The Goya Journal, The Locavore, Godrej Food Trends Report, Food Forward India, Roads & Kingdoms, among other platforms.

​

Trained in culinary operations and hospitality management, I have spent the last decade working across different sectors of the food and beverage industry, spanning restaurants, retail companies, sourcing partnerships, food media consulting, industry trend forecasting and more. This varied experience has allowed me to develop a panoramic view of Indian foodways.

​

Since 2020, I have been a freelance researcher and communicator, working on independent, collaborative, and commissioned projects focused on food.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy learning about traditional art and textiles, solving puzzles and listening to science podcasts.
