Born and raised in the east Indian city of Kolkata, Aman Misra is a deaf journalist who progressively lost his hearing during his teenage and young adult years. He holds an MA in Mass Communication (Journalism) from Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communications(SIMC), Pune, Maharashtra. Through his school years, Aman was a competitive swimmer and today continues to be an avid golfer in Kolkata. Despite being raised in a home that encouraged sport, Aman is yet to venture into the competitive deaf sport spaces. As a journalist, Aman has worked for the Indian Express, ESPNCricinfo, Wisden India, and Golf Digest India. He has covered cricket and golf in India. Aman has also covered the local news beat in the west Indian city of Pune, written about music, and authored Sunday features for the Indian Express back page. At ESPN, he worked with the television input team at their Mumbai studio. His role was to research and write scripts for digital content. In 2018, after his stint at ESPN, Aman began co-partnering with his mother Mayura Misra at their family-owned bookstore in Kolkata. Together, today, they run one of India’s leading independent children’s bookshops. The duo work with schools, parents, teachers, and children across South Asia. They also host interactive sessions with authors both at home and abroad. His research work is deep-rooted within intersectional areas of adapted sport, media, and communication within the Global South context.

Byzantine neighbourhoods in the city of Calcutta are divided amongst their loyalties for South American giants Brazil, Argentina, and Columbia. Other pockets swear European allegiances to Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Even then, fans are always ready to tell you about other footballing nations that they greatly adore, almost like a family heirloom passed down through generations.
