A NOTE OF RECOMMENDATION

Payal proved herself to be one of the most talented and thoughtful writers I ever had the pleasure of having on my team over the many years I ran Homegrown. She’s confident in her point of view, sensitive in her coverage, and genuinely cares about the quality of her work.
I still consider her work to be some of the publication’s finest till date and would recommend her to anybody looking for an independently-minded researcher/ writer who is capable of seeing things through end-to-end without constant supervision.

The first time I spoke with her, I could already tell she is more than a writer, but an actual opinion leader. Payal truly cares about her work and can create real impact through the power of her words. Her drive and dedication make her a great asset to the team.
In a short period of time, she was able to get a real feel for our audience and became an expert in the field of ed-tech. It's an absolute pleasure to work with Payal, to see her dedication for creating content that truly matters and leave an impact on a global scale.

I worked with Payal, who reported from India, as an editor in the U.S. She submitted high-quality copy, was thorough in her sourcing, and took the time to gather deep knowledge on the industry she wrote about. When I asked for edits, she was responsive and easy to work with.
She was also clear about deadlines and the times that she was free or busy — a pleasure for a long-distance editor. I highly recommend working with her!

Payal is a pleasure to work with and was courteous, polite and professional in her approach towards our engagement. She understood the brief I provided her quickly, followed up with her own research on the topic in quick time and finally delivered a high-quality article in a short turnaround time. She was creative in her writing and delivered an article that required almost zero edits. Thank you Payal! If we get another chance, would love to work with her on our PR releases and other creative writing assignments.
