Over a decade of work across India's digital landscape — from startup communities and content platforms to government communications and AI-related initiatives at MeitY.
I've been involved in digital work for over a decade — starting with web design, freelancing, and content before moving into community building and startup-focused media. That background shaped how I think about communication, platforms, and what actually works online.
For the past several years I've worked in the public sector, currently as Joint Manager & Media Manager at MyGov India (MeitY). My work there involves digital communications, content execution, and coordination on government-facing initiatives including Viksit Bharat@2047 and the IndiaAI Impact Summit 2026. I've also contributed to work within the HMoS office and was involved in the execution of Roars for Nature 2024 at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve.
Alongside that, I started a few small platforms over the years — Dropout Dudes for startup stories, The Campus Media for student voices, and Startup Style around founder culture. These were side projects that grew organically, not ventures.
