The dramatic QUESTION is the central element of uncertainty that drives your story. The moment it is asked, your story begins. The moment it is answered, your story ends.

My current personal quest is how and when will I return to India?

As an editor and writer for over 20 years, I have worked in different fields of media, investigative journalism, education and conservation in the US, UK, India and UAE. I have extensive experience in leadership interviews and my writing skills include case studies, features, editorials, screenplay, biographies, etc. I work with INSEAD’s professors from all three campuses on case studies from around the world. I am currently working with the INSEAD Corporate Governance Initiative where one of my key roles is to bridge the knowledge transfer gap between INSEAD’s rich academic research and the boardroom. I am also co-authoring a book on Nokia. I am keen to write governance cases on emerging economies; and my other interests include SUSTAINABILITY, cultural diversity, innovation, family business and SOCIAL Entrepreneurship.

A multidisciplinary background, with a degree in Physics, qualifications in Conservation, Veterinary Technology and Teaching English, highlights my desire to be continuously learning!
