• Past experience in India's leading digital newsrooms such as Hindustan Times, The Hindu, Indian Express, News18, NDTV and similar organisations
• Experience writing for international or premium English-speaking audiences
• Experience creating features, explainers, lifestyle stories, utility-driven content, or wide-audience knowledge pieces
• Strong understanding of what makes stories engaging for digital readers in the USA
