Nikita Khandwala

Hey, I’m Nikita. I’m a writer, educator and librarian of alternative worlds and words.

I write essays about imagination, agency, creativity and in(ter)dependent thinking.

If you were to ask me my life philosophy in one word, I’d say: otherwise. What does that mean, I hear you cry?

I believe in our collective ability to transmit wisdom and imagine alternative realities. I design spaces and institutions that bring people together across disciplines, generations and cultures to co-create a radically different future.

Right now, I’m thinking about how to create Rooms of Requirement. Think of it as an antidote to ambitionmaxxing.

I want this website to feel like sprinkling sunlight and water on your brain. So if you, like me, are a solar-powered being, please come in and explore my Substackopens externally and my library. ☼
