About ME

From India’s newsrooms to your book.

I spent three decades as Senior Editor at The Times of India, shaping some of India’s most-read publications — Times Ascent, Times Property, Education Times, and Mumbai Mirror online.

That career taught me one thing above all: every person with deep expertise has a story worth telling. Most just need the right person to help them tell it.

Today I work with executives, academics, and thought leaders across India to turn their ideas into books that establish authority, build legacy, and open doors they didn’t know existed.

Sridhar is a great asset in converting an idea into a book! He is excellent at developing the idea, research, shaping up content and making him part of my book project was a huge comfort for me to stay focussed on the core idea.

When I first thought about writing this book, putting across my thoughts and experiences was the challenge. When Sridhar came on board, he helped put words to those thoughts and feelings so effectively with so much thought and conviction as if he actually shared this journey with me. Throughout this collaboration he has been incredibly patient and understanding with me and Nida, put up with all our interruptions and corrections and guided us to turn these thoughts into this beautiful book.
