About Me

I’m a native Hindi speaker and a trilingual who has been translating and localizing games since 2019 and working professionally as the same since 2021. I am also open to and keen about translating or localizing anime and manga.Using my experience and passion for games, languages, and other media,
I'd love to preserve your work of art created in Japanese or English and deliver it to English and/or Hindi speakers.

My Story

When I was a kid, discovering anime was blessing to an introvert like me and this made me very much interested in Japanese language, too. I studied in an English-medium convent school where speaking English was mandatory, so I grew quite comfortable with English as a language. I consumed a lot of media in both English and Japanese and since India is a land of multiple languages, I often choose English to express myself and connect to as many people as possible.Around high school, I got into video games and observed how they are like playable books where you act as the protagonist. This is something that fascinates and excites me to this date. And so, I grew determined to bring such wonderful stories, characters and worlds to English and Hindi while trying to maintain how a native player feels when playing a game.Other tidbits about me:
1) Because of anime, I became so drawn to Japanese language and culture
that I learned and passed all JLPT levels by myself!
2) I was fortunate enough to be enrolled to a Shito-ryu karate class during my school days
and reached black belt level (although I've gotten rusty over the years).
3) I sketch and make fan art occasionally using Adobe Photoshop.
4) I also have experience as a medical interpreter and HR Recruiter.
