👋 Hello from RanaDG!

[edit]

Hi there! I’m Hirak Dasgupta, better known around here as RanaDG. I’m a copywriter, columnist, artist, and educator with over two decades of professional experience, and a lifelong love of good writing, meaningful storytelling, and the curious little things that make us human.

What I Do

[edit]

I work as a Senior Content Editor at a reputable company, where I lead content initiatives, write long-form editorials, design visuals, and mentor teams. My career journey has taken me from retail leadership to education to tech content, and I still wear a few hats as a columnist, poet, movie reviewer, and workshop coach.

On Wikipedia, I'm most interested in topics like:

[edit]
  • Indian art, literature, and cinema
  • Socioeconomic development in Tier-2/Tier-3 Indian cities
  • Education, language, and pedagogy
  • Technology and creative tools
  • Hidden stories worth telling

Skills & Passions

[edit]
  • Writing (copywriting, journalism, poetry, editorial)
  • Coaching and mentoring
  • Movie reviews and pop culture commentary
  • Photography (both lens and phone)
  • Painting (especially digital and mixed-media)

I believe in the power of well-crafted words and visuals to shape minds and spark change, and that philosophy carries over into everything I do, whether it’s writing a blog, training a student, or editing a Wikipedia article.

A Bit More About Me

[edit]

I've served as:

  • A columnist for The Times of India
  • A guest editor for Café Dissensus
  • A contributing poet to international literary journals
  • A trainer and mentor in English language testing and content writing

And yes, I’ve received a few awards along the way. But the real reward is getting to do what I love: tell stories that matter.
