Shift the frame only slightly and the picture changes completely. For too long, global culture has been viewed through a narrow lens. But that lens is widening. India is not on the sidelines anymore, it’s helping shape the conversation.

This is why I launched The Moment.

Understanding India is not optional. It is essential to understanding the world. Our stories show you how: through ideas and perspectives that illuminate what’s changing in India, because of India, and far beyond. With clarity you won’t find elsewhere.

The Moment’s stories are shaped by lived perspectives: global in spirit, yet distinctly rooted in India. We write for a global reader whether in New York, Goa, Nairobi or Dubai who wants to see the world through a vantage point that’s long been missing.

My own life has always been lived in translation, between the rituals of the East and the restless pace of the West. That cultural duality, shaped by my Asian American upbringing, would forever shape how I see the world.

The Moment was born of my love for India, the beloved country of my birth, and a place I now call home. It holds me with both tenderness and clarity. And it is from here that I write for the world: an invitation to see culture, identity, and possibility from India’s rising vantage point.

Best wishes,
