Member Since
August 2023


Ekta is a Chartered Accountant and an MBA from IIM Calcutta, who realised much later that her heart does not belong to the world of finance or marketing, but lies elsewhere. She loves to tell stories of people, both real and unreal.

As a news anchor and a journalist, her opinion pieces on current affairs and human rights are regularly carried by some of the top publications both in India and abroad. She passionately believes in an equal world, and has represented India on several international forums.

Her paintings were showcased at the Pune Biennale along with artists from 18 other countries. Art is an attempt to express herself through the unwritten word.

When she is not writing, she is mostly dancing in her head.

“This is not where I was meant to be. Born to the wrong house, by a stroke of misfortune. The girls here have it all. Men in whorehouses exist only to serve. We are their guards, tailors, cooks and their musicians. Forever in the shadows. If only I could be a woman. With soft hands, big breasts and long hair. To have men fawn all over me, to see them rise and fall. Alas, but all I have is small feet.”
― Ekta Kumar, Box of Lies: A Love Story, Without Love
