Host
Puja Changoiwala is an award-winning journalist and author of three books — Homebound, Gangster on the Run and The Front Page Murders. A critically acclaimed writer of both fiction and non-fiction, she has won over a dozen Indian and international awards for her work.
Puja is drawn to stories that spotlight lives on the bladed fringes of society — from gangsters trying to outrun their pasts to the caste-based sewer divers of Mumbai to those riding the ‘Internet Express’ trains in Kashmir. Her reportage has been published across the likes of BBC, CNN, The Guardian, The Washington Post, National Geographic, and Foreign Policy, among dozens of other publications across the world. Her books, meanwhile, have been published by HarperCollins and Hachette India.
A former fellow of the Global Investigative Journalism Network, Puja is a recipient of the British Council’s Study UK Alumni Award, the International Centre for Journalists’ Covid-19 Reporting Award, the Journalism for an Equitable Asia Merit Award, the American Society of Journalists and Authors’ (ASJA) Writing Award, the Laadli Media Award for Gender Sensitivity, the Iceland Writers Award, among many others. www.pujachangoiwala.com
