Rajani Thindiath's Story
Rajani is a writer & editor by profession, a diversity champion by inclination and a curious rabbit-hole / tangent follower with endless questions by default.
​
She was one of those clueless ones who didn't know what she wanted to be when she grew up (she's still growing up). So, she majored in Psychology, took a diploma in Animation and then another one in Journalism. (She also has certifications in screenwriting, narrative design for game writing and content marketing. She loves to learn!)
She has been a copywriter, a designer and a newspaper sub-editor before venturing into comics, graphic novels, books and animation. (She believes her journey is ongoing.)
She was the Editor-in-Chief of one of India’s largest comics publications for a decade and has been a writer & editor over two decades.
​
She has written and published two graphic novels (SuperWeirdos: Whoosh! and YogYodhas: Warriors of the Spirit) and has been nominated twice for Best Writer at the Comic Con India Awards.
​
She is an AVGC (Animation Video Games Comics industry) 40 Under 40 winner and a recipient of the Sahitya Ratna Sammaan award by the Writers and Journalists Association for her contribution to Children’s Literature. ​
​
She is a TEDx speaker and was a juror at the British Fantasy Awards (2022) and the Publishing Next Awards (2023 and 2021).
​
She writes animation scripts for Nickelodeon and stories & scripts on commissioned projects, across media & platforms. She also develops Brand Content (including characters, worldbuilding and stories), takes on editing projects and is querying her YA Fantasy manuscripts.
