I am a lawyer by trade, a freelance writer by trial, a podcaster by passion and a DJ when asked. After graduating as a Longhorn, I started off her career as an Analyst at Enron. While applying to graduate schools, I worked on movie sets in Texas and moved to India to work in radio and media. A few years later, I graduated with a J.D. from DePaul University School of Law in Chicago and began my law career in New York City.  Since then, she has moved back to India, lived in Dubai, Dallas, Bentonville and now her family is settled in Connecticut.  She has worked with magazines, non-profits, start-ups and everything in between.

I launched my own podcast called Tuckered Out with Ami Thakkar, interviewing trailblazers, experts, and prominent voices from the South Asian diaspora.   They talk about growing up brown, personal and professional journeys, and all those topics South Asians tend to shy away from.

I started this podcast because frankly, I was tuckered out from determining what my true calling was. So as a first-generation South Asian born in the US, I decided to interview the diaspora of South Asian trailblazers around the world to hear how they figured it all out, to share the South Asian story and highlight all the fantastic contributions we are making in various industries, and to laugh. As much as possible.

Join me for the ride.
