What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a content role where I can own SEO-aware editorial work, write across blogs, policy, and scripts, and collaborate with editorial/design teams—using a data-informed mindset to improve content performance while meeting tight deadlines.

I’m a versatile content writer with 3+ years of professional experience producing high-quality editorial content across formats—from in-depth blogs and white papers to web copy and scripts. I’ve built a strong workflow around content publishing calendars, SEO writing, and adapting tone and structure for diverse audiences, especially business and SaaS users.

In my roles at Drishti IAS, I produced daily current affairs articles, delivered research-backed editorial pieces and knowledge documents, and scripted content for the YouTube channel and Instagram Reels. I collaborate cross-functionally with editorial and design teams, maintain editorial standards under tight deadlines, and bring a data-informed approach to content performance—plus hands-on experience reviewing AI-generated editorial content for quality and factual accuracy.
