About Me
I am a media generalist and author based out of Bombay, India. I presently work on corporate venturing, innovation and new media for a global Indian conglomerate. In addition, I spend part of my time consulting with Verve, Man's World, and Rolling Stone magazines and I am also affiliated with MIT's C3 consortium. My first book - called GayBombay:Globalization, Love and (Be)Longing in Contemporary India, is now out, from Sage Publications, in India, North America and Europe.
