She joined Hindustan Times to simplify wellness subjects by cutting through jargon. She knows fads from fundamentals and curates science-backed, expert-recommended solutions.

Education and professional background Tavishi holds a Master’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and began her career reporting on public affairs for broadcast. Editorial Philosophy I write with one single goal: To simplify health in a world full of noise by finding what’s actually doable, safe, and evidence-based for my readers. I test claims against research and user experiences. New parents spend months choosing the right crib, the safest car seat, the softest fabrics for a newborn’s skin. Somewhere on that list, the one thing a baby interacts with in every single breath, the air inside the home, rarely gets a second thought.

People spend close to 90% of their time indoors, and depending on ventilation and everyday activity, indoor air can be measurably more polluted than outdoor air.

From decoding health trends and interviewing doctors to testing fitness routines herself, Tavishi always approaches content with one filter: “Will this help someone make a better decision today? Those early years in policy and TV shaped how she writes today: fast, factual, and human-first.
