Hi, I’m Sanskrita, an independent journalist from Assam in northeast India. My reporting focuses on human rights, social justice, environment and climate, health, politics, and culture, often paying particular attention to the lives and voices of communities on the margins. My work has appeared in international and Indian publications, and has been supported by grants, fellowships, and mentorship from the Pulitzer Center, East-West Center, Rory Peck Trust, and South Asia Speaks, among others.

In 2024, I was part of a reporting team that won the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing’s (SABEW) Best in Business Awards for the series Asia’s Age of Hydropolitics, published in Nikkei Asia. The series also won the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) Awards for excellence in
explanatory reporting. 

Beyond reporting, I freelance as a proofreader and editor, working with publishing houses such as HarperCollins India and Juggernaut Books.
