Being in love with writing almost her entire life, Subhashri joined the writing scene long before she even understood what she was writing about. Born in 1995, in a small town called Bongaigaon in Assam, Subhashri is an Assamese at heart and Bengali by birth. She started writing in college for local magazines. While she considered it one of her hobbies, she quickly realized how desperately she wanted to become a published author.

After graduating with a 1st class BA Degree in Political Science from Cotton College State University, Guwahati, Subhashri was inspired to study journalism and finally learn how to write for the world. In 2017, she completed her internship with The Times of India. For the next five months, she worked for a media house back in Assam - The Sentinel, explored the world of media in the state and decided to move to Gurugram.

Subhashri joined CollegeDekho in 2019, only to learn how vast the profession of content writing actually is. Prior to that, she worked one year as a copywriter and social media executive for a CSR project, saffron and lipstick brand.

Content writing for digital media opened her eyes to a whole new world of communication. She began her journey at CollegeDekho by writing for students looking for higher education options in India. Her primary areas of focus include producing quality and authentic written material, executing ways to market them and engaging the target audience. Subhashri has significantly contributed to elevating the brand and reinforcing its message in her tenure, so far.

Today, Subahshri is not just a writer! She is an education expert who brings innovative ideas to the table and knows how to implement them. Her knowledge and understanding is not limited to the higher education sector in India. She is also working actively on the Study Abroad sector, which introduced her to an even wider and constantly-evolving dimension of the education industry.

From writing about the education systems of different countries such as the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, Ukraine and Russia to updating students about the latest news and events in the study abroad sector, nothing, as of yet, seems to lower her expectations of her everyday role as an education enthusiast.

In addition, her work also revolves around understanding the ever-changing education and immigration policies of major study destinations, including India. Roy constantly explores the various dimensions of content writing not just to grab as many readers as she can but also to broaden her own creative pursuits.

She begins each project by asking herself what questions she would ask as a reader. After she has jotted down all the questions, she goes on to thoroughly research, develop ideas through creative thinking whilst snacking uncontrollably.

Through her work, she wants to reach as many international students as possible, be it in India or any other part of the world. She is committed to exploring new templates and ways of writing that ensure no student ever feels deprived of up-to-date and to-the-point information about international education on the internet.

Outside of the office, she writes about the significance of leaving the everyday haste behind and throwing ourselves into our passions. She can often be found thoughtless or meditating, doing yoga, reading, watering her plants, cooking, observing people and spreading love and compassion (in any way possible). She is a service enthusiast, constantly working towards becoming a better human being and using writing to serve others.

Subhashri is an introvert, trying to understand the need of persistent interaction with people. “Does not mean I hate human beings!”, she says. She is passionate about facilitating difficult conversations based on feminism, politics, spirituality, cinema, and good music.
