Hi there, I'm Sanskrita, an independent journalist from Assam in northeast India. My work has appeared in a range of international and Indian publications. I’ve received grants, fellowships, and mentorship from the Pulitzer Center, East-West Center, Rory Peck Trust, South Asia Speaks, the Center for Financial Accountability, the Google News Initiative, and Vital Strategies, among others. I’ve reported on stories spanning human rights and social justice, environmental and climate issues, health, politics, culture, and more. 

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 (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 received jury appreciation mentions from the UNFPA's Laadli Media Awards in 2022 and 2023. 

Besides reporting, I freelance as a proofreader and editor for publishing houses such as HarperCollins India, and Juggernaut Books.
