After earning a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Tezpur University and a short post-doc from IIT Bombay, I started working at the Science Media Centre (SMC) at IISER Pune in 2019. There, I got introduced to science communication / administration. I also learned a little bit about science film-making. I even made a science documentary film on Fred Hoyle that bagged the Poonam Chaurasia award at the 2021 Science Film Festival by Vigyan Prasar.

​

When I started working with IndiaBioscience, I was involved in expanding their digital initiatives, starting from podcasts to webinars. It was a multi-tasking job that helped me develop my skills outside of science territory.

 

After I moved to Mongabay, I got the opportunity to work in a multinational and multicultural environment. It was always a pleasure meeting colleagues from different parts of the world and talking about different experiences and expectations from life. At Mongabay, I collected and analyzed social media and website data periodically for internal assessment and external evaluations. I helped manage projects and the production team on a day-to-day basis.  

​

What I like about my work is that I often get to meet new people from diverse backgrounds. I am open to learning new things, and I enjoy a dynamic workspace. Writing is my hobby. I dream of having a book in my name someday.
