Divya Dugar

Divya Dugar is a journalist and storyteller with over fifteen years of experience covering news and producing long-form documentaries. Born in Rajasthan and having lived between Kolkata and Delhi, she studied at the Asian College of Journalism, Chennai, before going on to work as a producer on more than sixty reports/documentaries for European broadcasters, primarily ARTE. She also worked as a journalist for four years with France 2.

Divya's writing has appeared in numerous publications (including The Book of Dog, edited by Hemali Sodhi and published by HarperCollins) and often draws from her love for animals, heritage architecture, train travel and places just off the beaten path. Now based in Southeast Asia, she lives with her partner Olivier, their two young children Marius and Elora, and two dogs—Marcopolo and Pari—who are equal parts companions and chaos agents.

She is currently working on a project that brings her children into the wild—to experience wildlife in its natural habitat, slowly and mindfully.
