A writer with the Namaste magazine, Ishani believes she's never had a dull moment in her two decades with ITC. Swinging from learning about the unearthly landscapes of Ladakh to the silk route to learning about ancient granite rocks in peninsular India or about the legendary dancer Balasaraswati, or discovering young talended poets or novelists, each day brings her a new adventure.

Passionate about art and history, Ishani is fiercely protective about her city – Delhi, and loves doing research with the ASI department in her spare time.

While she loves travelling to the hills, she's as happy staying home with her four cats and a book to cuddle with.
