My Story

I am a Journalist at BBC News Marathi based in New Delhi, India since 2017. I have experience in digital video production, social media management, and ground reporting from rural India. I also writes text stories for BBC News Marathi. I have a masters in Development from Azim Premji University, specializing in law, governance, and policy.

Before entering journalism, I conducted extensive field research in rural Maharashtra, contributing to academic publications.

Recently, I received a journalism fellowship from the Reuters Institute at Oxford University (October 2024 – March 2025), where he will further explore rural issues and digital video storytelling.
