Hello đź‘‹
My name is Chandni Sehgal. I’m a freelance journalist based in Mumbai and I write on travel, beauty and wellness, design, culture and more. I have been a journalist for over 13 years and I specialise in profiles, social commentary and health and wellness stories (and offering unsolicited advice).
Along with freelance writing, I am open to creative projects across platforms, ghost writing books, co-authoring and editing. Things I like include books, food and dogs. Things I dislike include introducing myself – verbally, and in writing, so that’s it for now.
