New York-based journalist with over a decade of experience in covering politics, business, music and culture. Armed with specialist knowledge of the Asia-Pacific region, I regularly contribute to a variety of current affairs and music publications, including Al Jazeera, the BBC and Resident Advisor.

As a former staff writer for CNBC in Singapore, I focused on Asian economies and geopolitics, interviewing US national security advisors, NATO commanders and ASEAN deputy prime ministers. As a freelancer, I’ve written about subversive fashion, culinary creativity and underground nightlife for the likes of VICE, Foreign Policy and Vogue Business. My present work touches on the music business and creative economies.

Born in India and globally raised, I’m a third culture kid who’s lived in the UAE, Japan and Canada. After a lifetime of constant moving, I’m now trying to stay in one place.
