DevRupa Rakshit — Business Development Executive

I’m a queer, autistic creative working at the intersections of media, mental health, disability justice, and digital communication. With a multidisciplinary background spanning journalism, legal education, and visual art, I specialize in helping organizations translate complex ideas into accessible, engaging narratives — across formats and platforms. In short: I think like a strategist, write like an editor, and work like a collaborator. I've briefly worked with the UN Women, and led editorial projects on culture, science, and health, while supporting cross-platform content strategy at The Swaddle. Now, I independently consult with grassroots organizations and advocacy groups to shape voice, tone, and storytelling — especially around social justice, accessibility, and mental health. My work has appeared in Vogue, The Wire, Dirty Magazine, The Quint, Goya Journal, Tweak India, and Feminism In India, among others. My work has been recognized at the Laadli Media Award for Gender Sensitivity (2021), I've won and SCARF Media Award for Mental Health Reporting (2023). Oh, and I used to be a lawyer, and have a degree in painting, too! I'm currently open to: 1. working on commissioned articles, 2. developing communications strategy for organizations in gender, disability, or mental health, and 3. consulting on inclusive storytelling and accessible content, among others. Let’s connect — especially if you’re building something thoughtful, bold, and grounded in care!
