“The best kept secret of the Indian diaspora”

The book has been published in India by Westland Books.

Can intimacy be engineered? | For TheNews21’s Pulse vertical
I researched and wrote an article for The News 21’s Pulse vertical about the rise of A.I. companions, called “Can intimacy be engineered (by A.I.)?”. It was originally published on their website on 10th May 2026.
I conducted six interviews, over the phone and WhatsApp, with four people over the course of my research on the subject.
I also wrote a personal essay for the same vertical.
It’s called “After 12 Years in Toronto, Returning to Mumbai Felt Like Moving to a New City” and explores the themes of compelled displacement alongside the ideas of belonging and of “home.” It was originally published on their platform on 10th March 2026.
