I am a BBC Journalist based in New Delhi. Before joining the BBC, I had the privilege of working as a Reporter and Producer at NDTV, a reputable English news and current affairs channel located in Delhi.

I take immense pride in being honoured twice with the prestigious RedInk Award, a recognition bestowed by the Mumbai Press Club. I also received the Ramnath Goenka award for On-Spot Reporting in 2016 for my reporting during the Nepal earthquake. Currently, I am serving as a Senior Producer with the BBC's South Asia and Afghanistan bureau.
