THIS IS MY STORY
I’m Yeshaya — a student, storyteller, and researcher who moves between economics, politics, theatre, and public health without pretending any of it follows a straight line. I live in Delhi, surrounded by people, ideas, and contradictions that constantly push me to ask better questions.
Right now, my work spans several worlds: I run Saanp Seedhi, a podcast where I talk to people from wildly different careers; I create projects like CerviChampions, a comic that blends women’s health, law, and narrative art; and I study rural entrepreneurship through on-ground interviews and documentary filmmaking. I also work in student leadership, volunteer with one of Delhi’s oldest social work organisations, and perform theatre at national level.
At the center of everything is one instinct — I like understanding people, and I like building things that spark conversations.
This website brings all of that together: the research, the creative work, the community projects, and the constant curiosity that shapes the way I see the world
