I’m an author, public speaker, and diversity & inclusion advocate based in Hyderabad, India.

My book Homeless: Growing Up Lesbian and Dyslexic in India is releasing in March 2023, published by Simon & Schuster and Yoda Press. My first book Means to an End was published in 2017 by Leadstart Publishing.

I currently work at Salesforce, a US-based Software company, where I write technical documentation about cloud computing. I am also part of their LGBTQ+ ERG leadership team in India where I’ve curated, hosted, and spoken at several LGBTQ+ awarness sessions, discussions, and events. I also produced an initiative that enabled each org at Salesforce to hold DEI-related discussions around topics like unconscious bias, microagressions, etc.

I was also part of the founding team of Oracle Pride Employee Network (OPEN) at Oracle India.
