My name is Harshita and I'm a digital marketer and food writer. While my day job revolves around working as the Marketing Lead and executing campaign strategies for The Locavore, I burn the evening oil (not midnight because I can't stay up past 10 pm) as a food writer. Thanks to my job and my writing passions, I'm fully immersed in conversations around intersectionality and food and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Though I started my career as a campus reporter, I transitioned into food writing as of June 2023. I attended a food writing workshop organised by food writer Mallika Basu in May 2023 at the British Library, London. Within a month I had succesfully launched my own newsletter with over 100 subscribers called Sindhi with a dash of Hindi.

Through my food writing, I aim to chronicle my Sindhi culinary heritage and why it must be preserved. I received the runner-up prize for the Indian Culinary Agenda's Food Writing Prize 2024 for my research paper on Sindhi heritage rice varieties. You can read more about it here.

Before venturing into food writing, I was also the Newsletter Editor for London-based magazine on books by authors of colour, Bad Form Review from February 2021 to October 2023. One of my book reviews for their publication was featured in the New York Times Books newsletter. If you'd like to work together on a writing project, then do reach out via email.
