Where the work shows up.

I say yes to conversations that leave room to think. Below are the formats I usually work in, and the questions I keep coming back to.

An empty auditorium in dim light, a single warm spotlight resting on a wooden stage before a talk.

Formats I show up in

Interviews

Long-form conversations

Sit-down interviews where there's time to think out loud — not a two-minute clip.

Podcasts

Tech & culture shows

Guest episodes on AI, work, and how India is actually using these tools day to day.

Panels

On-stage discussions

Panels at conferences and campuses — usually the one on the panel asking for a citation.

Print & online

Explainers and op-eds

Written pieces for editors who want a slower, more careful take than the news cycle allows.

Campus

Guest lectures

Sessions inside university programs — undergrad, postgrad, and the occasional faculty room.

Community

AMAs & office hours

Open Q&As with readers, students, and founders. Where the sharpest questions usually come from.

For editors & producers

If you're reaching out for a piece or a show, a short note about the format and the angle helps. I try to respond in a week; I don't always say yes.
