IN TAMANNA'S OWN WORDS ...
One of my values has always been to bridge the gap between traditional academic perspectives and modern needs. I believe in delivering information from the inside out—rooted in cultural context, lived experience, and research—so that it resonates with authenticity. I strive to update and curate content that is culturally rich, historically significant, and accessible to a global readership. A key part of my work has been to enhance the visibility and authenticity of Indian perspectives within Britannica. Whether I’m updating foundational religious topics or covering contemporary cultural figures, I aim to keep the content current, comprehensive, and engaging. I’m driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact on how complex cultural, historical, and educational subjects are represented and understood across diverse audiences.
