FREELANCE WRITING
I’ve been a freelance writer for over 9 years now. I have written for top magazines, newspapers, inflight magazines and websites in India. I’m looking forward to writing for both Indian and international magazines / newspapers / websites on India centric topics – be it on food, travel & lifestyle, healthcare. Connect with me if you have such assignments in mind.
BLOGGING FOR BRANDS
Blogs for brands with genuine content build awareness and customer connect. With my 8+ years of blogging experience, I’ll be happy to explore the opportunity of blogging for your brand.
WORKSHOPS
I conduct culinary and nutrition workshops for individuals and corporates. I’ve done both onsite and offsite workshops for corporates, that have been highly valued by the attending audience. My workshops mostly have a focus on health and nutrition, with a lot of lifestyle modification tips weaved in. They are also a great team-building exercise. I conduct them from Bangalore and in other cities as well.
RECIPE DEVELOPMENT
I love creating new recipes, trying them out and perfecting them. If your food brand is looking for authentic, tailor made recipes, do write to me.
VIDEO CONTENT CREATION
I have experience in creating video content for my YouTube channel. I have also been a part of lifestyle programs aired on Fox Traveller (now called Fox Life) and Food Food. If your brand is looking for video content, we can work together towards creating well researched and high-quality videos.
SOCIAL MEDIA ACTIVATION
For brands from healthcare, FB, nutrition, lifestyle sectors where I will be a good fit, I can provide social media engagement via my blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
BRAND AMBASSADORSHIP
If your brand finds a good fit in me, then I’m happy to consider a long term association involving content creation, social media engagement, workshops and other modes of engagement depending on your requirement.
