About

Shweta Thakur Nanda is a journalist based in Delhi NCR. A long form story teller for more than 13 years, she has worked for India’s leading news wires, newspapers and magazines. She believes that the world is changing and journalists need to chronicle the change (good, bad or ugly) and accentuate its impact on the society. This has encouraged her to write in-depth stories on issues ranging from environment conservation, sustainable fashion and lifestyle, women and child rights to youth and politics. Her liking for research oriented in-depth stories on issues affecting common men and women helped her win the Observer Peace Foundation Award for Journalism and Ramnath Goenka Award for Excellence in Journalism.
