His cooking skills will uplift your mood at any point in time! His ultimate love being pictures, meet Devashish, our Photographer and Producer. We exist because he does.

Romita

She’s usually fiction-writing at resto-bars or busy reading what goes into her skincare. Other times, she’s indulging all her senses to feel, realise and write about the beauty of the world and the people in it. She loves reading pictures; experiencing the layers, thoughts and stories behind and in the lens. Social media consumes 18 hours of her day when she’s not on a budget-friendly solo trip. She’s a proud doggo mama who loves exploring the human psyche. She’s easy to poach with some Margherita, Tales of Woe, and Ludovico. Meet Romita, our Content-Head.

She loves weaving stories about Indian weddings with all that gala and craze. Inspired by the classic Fevicol ads, she took a degree in Communications and aspires to become an excellent Marketer. She is a big-time foodie, loves to eat and also makes others eat with her. She can be your partner for those hundreds of mid-day chai sessions. Meet Poorva, our Content Specialist.
