Chief Content Writer – Akanksha 

 

A Journey Through Words and Knowledge

Akanksha Amresh Baliarsing is a dynamic professional whose career blends creativity, content creation, and a profound knowledge of information science. With a passion for storytelling, Akanksha has become a thought leader and a custodian of knowledge, transforming ideas into engaging narratives that resonate with audiences.

A Wordsmith at Heart

Akanksha’s journey as a content creator has been defined by her love of words. In the XtraOrdiNAARI community, she is known as “Shabdon Ki Rani,” a Hindi term that translates to “Queen of Words.” She creates narratives that are inspiring, engaging, and rich in connection. And she has the unique ability to breathe life into words and writing. Since October 2023, she has worked as an Executive Content Writer at Healkin, where she has transformed the brand’s website into a content-rich vehicle. Healkin, however, doesn’t write for cars; it writes for people.

A Scholar of Information

Holding a Master’s degree in Library and Information Science from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Akanksha has a solid basis for steering information to users. She knows digital library software such as KOHA, SOUL, DSpace, and GreenStone, a talent for which the National Institute of Fashion Technology was hiring her. She also has some nifty creative skills that allow her to take a project from the dreaming-on-a-beach phase to the linear path of innovation leading to the end product.

Certifications and Professional Growth

Akanksha never stops expanding her knowledge and skills. Earning her Advanced Content Writing Certification from ECT in May 2022 signifies her commitment to reaching a level of excellence. And what her experience as a Paid Intern in 2022-2023 at MPS Interactive does is combine the two areas she is most passionate about—making her serve as a blend of an Information Scientist and an Instructional Designer—creating educational content in the process.

Published Works: Frozen Emotions and Durga

Akanksha is also an author and has self-published two books: Frozen Emotions and Durga. Frozen Emotions is a collection of poetry that traverses the range of human emotion, while Durga is a novel rooted in Indian mythology—women’s strength and resilience are at the story’s heart. Both works give a glimpse into Akanksha’s soul, with plans afoot to make them available in print and on Kindle by the year’s end.

LinkedIn: A Platform for Thought Leadership

Insightful articles on subjects as diverse as content creation and the role of information science in the digital age appear regularly on Akanksha’s LinkedIn page. These articles are not just good reads; they also serve as a window into Akanksha’s mind. One can’t help but walk away with a solid understanding of not only her ideas—because she expresses them quite well—but also of her passion for sharing knowledge.

A Versatile Skill Set

What makes Akanksha stand out is her versatility. She has skills that cover a range of areas—content creation, book publishing, digital library management, and instructional design. She has proficiency in a variety of software tools, including MS Office, LibreOffice, Drupal, WordPress, SquareSpace, Scribus, InDesign, Canva, LanguageTool, and Grammarly. Her design skills—which cover a lot of editorial, print, and website design—make sure that the work she does is engaging and visually compelling.

The Future Beckons

As Akanksha’s growth trajectory accelerates, she remains laser-focused on carving a path that compels and matters. She is bound for a resolute destination because she has a consistent thread that unites all her experiences and future aspirations: content. Be it compelling writing, eye-catching design, or the mesmerizing world of information science, Akanksha is passionate and committed to at least three areas where paths cross in meaningful and impactful ways.
