A decade of words across FinTech, Real Estate, Advertising, FMCG and Publishing — crafted to move people, brands, and bottom lines.
About
The story behind the words.
I began in the noisy newsrooms of Kolkata, learned the rhythm of brands in Bangalore, and now write from Hyderabad — but the voice has only sharpened with every city.
For over a decade, I've moved between disciplines and industries — FinTech to FMCG, real estate to retail, telecom to publishing — translating strategy into stories that travel. From global agencies to founder-led brands, my work has lived on hoardings, in inboxes, on book spines and on stages from Kolkata to Tokyo.
One unwavering belief: the right word, in the right place, can change everything.

The Embracing Mother
Lavanya could hardly believe after she failed miserably, trying to conceive even after five years of her marriage. A husband whom she considered to be the utopian man in her life got swindled easily by Keerti, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Surrogacy blessed Lavanya with a loving daughter but had to lose her life partner, Laksh to Keerti. Financial crunch brought her on her knees at the initial phase after losing her husband to the surrogate mother only left with a three month old Tamanna in her life. What more bitter time she could have faced, rising from the ashes, building up a business empire and fulfilling the duties of a mother. Fate had knocked her down after years when she had to choose to get back to her past relation in order to save Tamanna's life.

Chronicles Of The Speaking Soil | For the women who endured, and the girls who will rise
Chronicles of the Speaking Soil is a powerful collection of poems that confronts the silences surrounding women's lives in India. With unflinching honesty and lyrical grace, the author bears witness to a reality where communal strife unsettles safety, where progress is measured in economics but not equality, and where women's voices are too often muted by judgment or rivalry. These poems do more than reflect—they resist. They refuse the normalization of oppression, reject the romanticizing of resilience, and call out the fractures that dim the collective strength of women. Each verse echoes the weight of objectification, the punishment of truth, and the inheritance of inequality across generations, while also insisting on unity, dignity, and transformation. At once searing and tender, Chronicles of the Speaking Soil is both testimony and invocation. It honors the burdens women have carried, while envisioning a future where those burdens no longer bind. For every woman who has lived these realities and every girl who deserves a freer tomorrow, this book offers not only remembrance, but also unyielding hope.

Ogo Bideshni Welcome to my Land: Vol. 1
Born and brought up in London, Nandini returns to India to her grandparents house in North Kolkata. While her father was a Bengali, her mother was a Brit and she had never been to India before. Her parents disconnected with her paternal grandparents at the time of her birth who longed to see their only grand daughter for years. A fatal accident in London causes the death of both her parents and as per legal norms Nandini, a fourteen year old needs to return to Kolkata to be brought under the custody of her grandparents. Life takes a new turn in Kolkata when she discovers the rich culture and the rituals in a traditional Bengali family, not to mention The food, and listen to her grand mother's stories every night. She discovers a new world altogether with a stark contrast to the one she previously experienced in her past fourteen years in London with her parents hardly sparkling any time for her. As she grows up to study her masters in Kolkata, gets a job, falls in love and settles there, she finds that there is something unusual and striking which keeps her bound to the soil of her origin. Is it the love, warmth and the cosy Ness or is it the city itself, where every thing is coated with a bit of "extra sweetness"?
