Dr. Drishti Kalra — Product Manager

I am an Assistant Professor at Delhi University, UPSC faculty, researcher, content strategist, and Indo-blogger with a deep-rooted passion for history, education, and storytelling. I currently teach both undergraduate students and UPSC aspirants (History GS & Optional), combining academic rigour with real-world relevance. Having submitted my PhD in Ancient Indian History at the University of Delhi, my research explores Buddhism, cultural memory, gender, and emotional histories. Over the years, I’ve taught a wide range of history courses across DU colleges and contributed to curriculum and academic content for platforms such as Coursera, IGNOU, FutureLearn, and others. As a Subject Matter Expert and SEO writer, I specialise in transforming complex historical and cultural concepts into clear, accessible content for academic, editorial, and EdTech audiences. My writing includes educational modules, feature blogs, thought pieces, and website content — published across platforms like Anthroholic, Chegg, and institutional forums. Internationally recognised for my scholarship, I was awarded the Best Researcher Award by the Max Planck Institute for my work on emotional histories. I have presented papers at conferences in Canada, Cambridge, JNU, and other reputed forums, and published on diverse topics including ecofeminism, religious reform, and oral traditions. Whether in classrooms, archives, or digital platforms, I aim to bridge the past and the present — through engaging teaching, impactful research, and inclusive public history.
