As the Deputy Editor of queerbeat, an independent digital newsroom that has grown into a trusted platform for rigorous reporting on LGBTQIA+ lives in India, I commissioned, edited, and shaped investigative and deeply reported long-form narratives on gender, sexuality, and social justice. As the publication scaled, I helped refine its editorial direction, mentored queer journalists, and built sustainable newsroom systems that strengthened both our reporting and our creative process.
I also wrote a recurring column, Bending the Binary, examining what it means to be queer in contemporary India.
During my time there, I received The Rainbow Award for my essay, Where Do the Quiet Gays Go?

I also serve as a Contributing Senior Editor with Object Magazine (also known as Journey of Objects), editing long-form narrative and investigative work, and contributing to projects that support the magazine’s evolving editorial vision. I occasionally write editorials when the mood — and the magazine — allows.
