In January 2014, she began the Humans of Bombay Facebook page, inspired by the Humans of New York. After discovering the HoNY page in 2013, she tried to find a similar page for Mumbai, and after not finding one, created a logo and made a Facebook page herself. In 2016, she compiled posts, including ones that had not been published online, into a self-published book, Humans of Bombay. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Business Economics from the University of Nottingham. She has been profiled in leading newspapers and websites like Times of India, NDTV, and Forbes India just to name a few.
