Hi, I’m Anupama, an award-winning print-audio journalist and New York University alumnus, intent on telling data-rich stories of people trying to solve problems. I cut my teeth as a business journalist in the manic newsrooms of Manhattan and Hong Kong, mastering details, deadlines, and budgets. Turns out, that was just the warm-up for the real boss life: being a working mom!
A few years ago, I rediscovered my love for audio, taking me back to a latch-and-key childhood in Bombay. For my sister and me, vacations meant recording silly chatter on a tape recorder and crowding around a crackling radio soaking in cricket commentary and BBC news. Since 2018, I have excitedly recorded, edited and mixed audio stories, peppered with vivid soundscapes, on science, environment, business and gender for global media outlets and social enterprises.
I love building real connections at work—but fair warning: if we team up, there’s a good chance we’ll get sidetracked talking about food, films and fossils!
Curious about the magic of audio? Listen to the stories below to experience it for yourself.

Training
Are you a media company or social enterprise exploring podcasting? I can guide your team through the process, making it simple and approachable.
My training focuses on storytelling and technical skills: I help craft engaging narratives, from episode structure to tone and pacing, and cover technical aspects like recording clean audio and mixing in post-production using digital audio workstations or audio mixing software. Sessions can be conducted in person or online, tailored to your needs.
Production
Are you looking for someone to produce a podcast for you to connect with funders and audiences? I can help you with it from conceptualisation to reporting, recording and post production.
I’ve worked with organisations like the SELCO Foundation, producing a podcast series on millets and also tailored audio for the Agroecology Fund on sustainable agriculture.
I have also produced audio stories for media outlets like Dark N Light Zine and Newsreel Asia to highlight environmental and social issues. In addition, I work with international media organisations like the BBC, Deutsche Welle and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, sharpening my skills with every story.

"Anupama’s work brings out the pragmatism in one’s work and makes it palatable to any audience. Each listener or reader will be able to take away parts of the production and build upon it easily for their own work. Her work on millets is one that has helped lots of potential stakeholders of SELCO understand the nuances of the millet value chain."
