Reenita is Indian-American author, journalist, and entrepreneur whose work spans storytelling, media, and business. She’s the author of popular books like Operation Mom, a witty and relatable tale about teenage chaos, and When Arya Fell Through the Fault, a fantasy adventure that explores Indian mythology through a modern lens. Beyond her writing, Reenita has a rich background in broadcasting and journalism, having worked with prominent outlets like the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg. Alongside her literary achievements, she runs a podcast featuring deep conversations with authors about their creative journeys.
