Sahil Pradhan

Sahil (they/them), a neuro-diverse, and queer individual, is an undergraduate economics student at the University of Delhi. Their diverse cultural background informs their writing and research on gender minorities, climate disparity, and intersectional social issues. When not delving into complex societal challenges, Sahil grapples with their ever-expanding library of unread books—a collection that grows faster than their ability to tackle them. When not balancing their roles as a working student and maintaining an active social life in Delhi, Sahil can be found experimenting with recipes from Instagram reels, practicing Odissi dance, playing the sitar, enjoying movies and dramas, listening to K-Pop, or exploring the hidden alleys of the "city of djinns."
