This is a collection of my editorial pieces illustrated for Ekank's platform, ThisDay. Dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of Indian History, Art, Culture, and Heritage, ThisDay is a platform for enthusiasts to share their passion through engaging stories and illustrations.

My contributions to ThisDay reflect a range of topics and styles, demonstrating my versatility as an illustrator. These stories have reached a wide audience from ThisDay's partnerships with leading platforms such as JioTV, Airtel, Xiaomi, Redmi, and others.

I had a great time working on these illustration as it made me learn something new about these stories and I also got to experiment with my work.
