Hi, I'm Sindhu, a writer and operator working in tech. I am also the founder-editor of Patina, an independent digital publication that documents the living edges of culture.


I'm interested in tech, systems thinking and metacognition, and often bring my Humanities background to bear on questions of technology. I invariably hold a nuanced, bifocal lens to anything I'm currently solving, including in my independent research practice and my current full-time role at PhonePe.

This website is where I pick apart my thoughts and strengthen them with research-led scaffolding. Some signposts to guide you:

🪴 Garden: where I tend to ideas like I tend to my plants, patiently and intentionally.

⚜️ Library: a growing record of stories and sensory experiences that inform who I am.

Career Manifesto: a living document tracing how and why my career is the way it is.

Here's a cup of tea ☕️ to accompany you as you wander around. Happy exploring!
