Vasudha Sahgal

Vasudha Sahgal is an author, freelance journalist and screenwriter. Her storytelling journey began early—at the age of eight, she wrote her first story about a bunch of friendly witches.

She started her career as a trainee copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather, New Delhi—an experience she likens to being Charlie in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: utterly fascinating.

Over the years, Vasudha has contributed to publications such as The Tribune, Daily Post, The Times of India, HuffPost and The Quint. Her short story was included in the anthology Love in the Times of WhatsApp and Other Stories. She has also authored two illustrated children’s books. Additionally, she has sold the intellectual property rights to her first feature screenplay to a production house.

Beyond writing, Vasudha manages operations at her family’s precision engineering company, Micron Instruments Pvt. Ltd. She is passionate about travel, food, words and our existence in the world. Almost Perfect, but Mostly Not marks her debut solo venture into short fiction.
