About Our Founder

Vani Agarwal

Vani Agarwal is a high school student at The Heritage International Xperiential School in Gurgaon, near the Indian capital of New Delhi. She has a deep and abiding passion for writing and journalism, and has pursued her interest in this field in different ways. Beyond her work with Byline, she has also served as the member of the editorial board of her school magazine, for which she has previously contributed several articles for publication. She has sought to hone her writing skills through participation in numerous creative and journalistic writing programs, including Boston University’s prestigious Summer Journalism Academy, and put them to the test by participating in multiple writing competitions.

For Vani, Byline is a meaningful opportunity to share her passion and experience with others while simultaneously making an impact in people’s lives and contributing to a future media ecosystem that is more diverse and inclusive.

In her free time, Vani pursues her other passions, which include a lively interest in history, a fascination for drama and theater, and playing the piano, which she has been doing for over a decade.
