At Press Trust of India, I write and edit international affairs and diplomacy coverage for a national wire agency. I also reported from Israel during the 2026 Knesset elections.

At India Today Global, I researched, wrote and edited content on international affairs and West Asian geopolitics. As a trainee researcher there, I published 20+ bylined articles and produced 125+ videos.

My research focuses on West Asia, including Iraq’s political evolution and India–Oman relations. I’m pursuing a PhD in West Asian Studies at Jamia Millia Islamia on political Islam in the Maghreb.
