Ruchi Kumar’s Biography

I am an Indian journalist currently working in Kabul, Afghanistan, focusing on news stories from the Af-Pak region.

After four years as a journalist in India, I moved to Kabul about a year and half ago looking for different stories to tell.

Most recently, I was working with Impassion Afghanistan--country’s first digital media agency--as a digital managing editor for their citizen journalism platform called ‘Paiwandgāh’. I worked on trainings as well as co-ordinating daily news, features stories and opinions from a network of over 700 citizen journalists across Afghanistan.

Over the last six months, I have been working as a freelance journalist contributing to news publications including Slate, Roads and Kingdoms, Huffington Post, Catch News and dna India.
