Life in North East is made by a small core team based in Shillong, plus a growing circle of interns and contributors from across the region. Say hi any time at contact@lifeinnortheast.com.
Anuj Kumar
Founder & Editor-in-ChiefA Delhi boy who works out of Dubai and fell for the Northeast so hard that he set up an office in Shillong and is planning to move here for good. Still not over the wai wai chaat. Current master plan: shrink the office a little and open a tiny cafe. Status: awaiting permission from the rest of the team.
Michelle Alexandra
Managing EditorRuns the office and the newsroom on black coffee. She pulls a face at every single sip and finishes the cup anyway, because somebody has to keep this place running. Every story crosses her desk before it goes anywhere.
Cynthia Lydia Marbaniang
Staff WriterOfficially here to report on people, culture and long-form stories. Unofficially here for the office supply of Gems and Chupa Chups, which she insists is the only reason she comes in. Her stories are great, so the snack budget stays.
Serafina (Sera)
Community & Social MediaThe star of the team. Sera runs our Instagram and influencer handle, builds the LiNE community and turns up at the office whenever the mood strikes. Nobody argues, because our socials and community have never looked better.
