"I'm out with lanterns, looking for myself" - Emily Dickinson

An alumna of Indian Statistical Institute and a former Associate Actuary, I reinvented to  my life to become an author, columnist, storyteller, social influencer and change-maker.

Over the last many years, I’ve spent thousands of hours studying things outside of syllabus, and another few thousand of hours in silent meditation at Vipassana. 

Here is what I learned through it so far:

That, my vulnerability is my greatest strength, and my authentic voice my treasure. 

It has been a thrilling journey so far. I cannot wait to see what unfolds next…

I’ve been recognised with a number of international awards & felicitations for my literary contributions, social influence and change-making.

I have also had the honour of walking the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival, spoke multiple times on the TED+ platforms on subjects close to my heart, and my work got featured widely in mainstream media.

As an author:

I have won a number of awards and my first book ELIXIR was shortlisted among the 5 best fictions of 2017 at Gurgaon Literary Festival 2018. 

The book was also made into a short-film that won a number of international awards and was selected to be screened at the 69th Cannes Film Festival. 

As a speaker:

I’m regularly invited to various national and international literary/ film festivals, global platforms and conferences as keynote speaker/ panelist/ educator to speak on subjects of Storytelling, Joyful Changemaking, Personal Transformation, Creative Leadership and Gender Intelligent workplaces. 

I am also a Distinguished Toastmaster – the highest educational award at Toastmaster International. I’ve been featured by the Toastmasters International magazine globally.

As a changemaker:

I have had the fortune to reach, teach, connect and touch thousands of lives through my speeches, workshops, training programmes and collaborative work. 

I’ve also had the privilege of talking on the TEDx platform:
