Journalist
Hi! I'm Akrit [ ]
Raised in New Delhi, India, in a house full of teachers, I have always had a special relationship with the spoken and written word.
​
I like the news. I love how it is gathered, written, spread and consumed.
My interests in journalism include digital production, video editing, data journalism and audio storytelling.
​
As a storyteller, I am constantly fascinated by the ways in which we consume media in our lives, and am always striving to be at the helm of this disruption.
