Ajachi Chakrabarti

Correspondent

Ajachi joined Tehelka as a correspondent in July 2012. His journalistic career came at the end of four surreal years spent studying mechanical engineering at BITS Goa (and constantly having to explain to people that yes, people do study in Goa), at the end of which he decided to follow his first love: writing. He reports largely on public protests as well as social and policy issues. He is based in New Delhi.
