Hi there, I'm Sanskrita, an independent journalist from Assam in northeast India. My work has appeared in various international as well as Indian publications. I've received grants, fellowships and training from the Pulitzer Center, Eastwest Center, SouthAsia Speaks, the Center for Financial Accountability, Google News Initiative and Vital Strategies, among others. In 2024, I was part of a team of reporters that won the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing’s (SABEW) Best in Business Awards for a series titled "Asia's Age of Hydropolitics" published in Nikkei Asia. The same series won the Society of Publishers in Asia 2024 (SOPA) Awards in the excellence in explanatory reporting category. In 2023, I was a finalist for the Hostwriter Prize. In 2022, I was shortlisted for the Fetisov Journalism Awards. I've also received jury appreciation mentions from the UNFPA's Laadli Media Awards in 2023 and 2022. Besides working as a journalist, I also freelance as a proofreader and copy editor for publishing houses like HarperCollins India. When I am not working, you can find me reading, watching TV shows and tennis matches, practicing yoga, and
wondering about my next meal.
