Nish Amarnath
Nish Amarnath is an American journalist and writer based in New York. She's a free bird, an incorrigible nomad who has grown up and lived in countless cities across four continents. The unity that lies in the diversity of those variances is her synthesis of all those experiences to nurture her craft as a writer and narrativize her fundamental identity as a writer and artiste.
Nish is the author of three books: 'The Voyage to Excellence: The Ascent of 21 Women Leaders of India Inc.', 'Citi and its Scuffle with the Watchdogs' and 'Victims For Sale'. Her debut novel, 'Victims For Sale', released by HarperCollins in January 2018, was nominated for the Mumbai Film Festival Word-to-Screen Award and critically reviewed in the US as reminiscent of Megan Abbott and Patricia Highsmith. Nish infuses her fiction work with elements of magic and mysticism in ordinary and starkly real settings.
Nish has written for The Wall Street Journal and was previously managing editor at Euromoney Institutional Investor and a senior journalist at S&P Global where she was one of five journalists across North America to be honored as an Outstanding Reporter in 2017 as part of the AMMYs or Alerian MLP Awards. Her articles have also appeared in TheStreet.com, MSN Money, The Big Thrill Magazine and India Today, among others. She completed her Bachelors in Economics with Distinction and holds post-graduate degrees from the London School of Economics and Columbia University, where she was a James W. Robins Reporting Fellow.
