Ritu Singh

Ritu Singh is an engineer who became fascinated by a question that engineering alone couldn't answer: how do the decisions made in Parliament, in international summits, and in government ministries actually shape the lives of a billion people?

That question led her deep into current affairs, social policy, environmental governance, and science & technology. What she found was that most reporting tells you what happened, but rarely why it happened, what came before it, or what it means for what comes next. The connections between events, laws, institutions, and ground realities are almost always left to the reader to figure out alone.

Ritu writes to make those connections explicit. At GKSolver, she covers Social Issues, Environment & Ecology, and Science & Technology — approaching each story with the engineer's habit of asking: what is the system here, who are the actors, what are the feedback loops, and what does someone need to understand to have an informed opinion about this?
