Vanshika Singh

Vanshika Singh is a researcher and writer exploring how young people in low-income neighbourhoods of Hyderabad navigate risk, repair, and aspiration. Her engagement with water began while documenting the labour of the city’s water linemen and has since expanded to examine the physical toll of climate change on the body—spikes in illness during erratic monsoons or the strain of water repair work. Though rooted in the urban, Vanshika’s understanding of water deepened when her parents took up organic farming after retirement, revealing the moodiness of groundwater. She holds these scattered water worlds together through pauses—humming, curating playlists, and writing in free verse.
