I am the co-founder of Alt Carbon, Dorje Teas, & Alter Magazine.

I grew up in Calcutta, started living in Darjeeling during the lockdown, and now shuttle between Bombay, Bangalore, & Selim Hill.

I studied political philosophy at Ashoka University & International Law at the University of Oxford. I learnt tea making from maestro Rajah Banerjee.

A few things I’m interested in

• Histories of constitutions and international legal frameworks
• How scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations happen
• Growing trees, making tea
• Science fiction & historical fiction
• Learning about volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains
• How to build cities
• Solutions to the Fermi Paradox
• Global histories of food
• Niche histories of art & architectural movements
