Prarthana Gahilote has been a journalist with the national media-spanning print, TV and digital
platforms-for over two decades, with a stint in the UK as a Chevening Scholar. She is the festival
director of Kathakar: International Storytellers Festival, India’s first and only oral storytelling
festival.
Prarthana suffers from wanderlust and loves walking the Himalayan forests whenever she can escape
her homes in Delhi or Mumbai. When not occupied with the alphabet, she is found spinning yarns with
family and friends, pampering her nephew, Raghav, and her pet, Ginger. She has an ever-growing
collection of books, fountain pens and antiques. She directs short films, documentaries and digital
concerts. She also writes poetry in Hindustani as well as lyrics for songs. She can’t live without
music or gulab jamuns.
