Traveller, Pluviophile, self-accredited Food Analyst, and a dreamer – Jayita has been in the online industry since floppy discs were a rage! From working in travel and transcending to education, she has come a long way and still gets excited at the thought of exploring something new.
Professional Experience:
Content & Editorial strategist with over 17 years experience in Content Management, Content Strategy, Content Curation, Editing & QC, Social Media Management and Corporate Communications & PR. Have worked in multiple industries and developed content for prominent verticals like the first government portal of India - India.gov.in, travel giant - MakemyTrip.com, Digital business - HT Digital & ed-tech start-up Collegedekho.com to generate traffic, build the brand, and increase traffic & viewership. A graduate from Miranda House, University of Delhi, India’s Best College for 3 years in a row now, I also hold a Post Graduate degree in Journalism & Mass Communication.
Seasoned with the knowledge of online writing, Jayita has mastered the art of writing for varied fields like travel and tourism, education, e-commerce and government-related data. As my capacity of a writer for the government portal – india.gov.in, I have researched and drafted content for several verticals like Communications, Foreign Affairs, Infrastructure, Law & Justice, Science & Technology, Travel & Tourism, Art & Culture, Defence, Information & Broadcasting, Power & Energy, Social Development, Youth & Sports, Education, Health & Family Welfare, Labour & Employment and Transport.
I have also authored several travel blogs and travel videologues (this is before vlogging became a thing!). I forayed into the education domain with HTCampus.com, a digital vertical with India’s leading media house – Hindustan Times. With India’s education industry just mushrooming into what today is a giant industry, my experience of research and analysis led to pioneering content on India’s higher education.
Presently, I work with Collegedekho, India’s largest admission & counselling platform. Here, I am a Content & Editorial strategist specialising in Content Management, Social Media & Marketing Management and Corporate Communications. I have conceptualised & executed 700+ video content across social media platforms like Facebook & Youtube.com.
In my capacity handling PR, I have organised & executed Education Conclaves in Delhi & Rajasthan addressing topics on ‘Higher Education in India’. In association with several agencies, I have also handled the company’s PR in several publications in print, digital & TV. I have been instrumental in leading the company to partner with a leading digital news agency “The Quint” as their “Knowledge Partner”.
My experience, research and content building strategies has led to increasing in traffic on the site by 200%. Business requirements aside, providing correct information to our users so that they can make an informed decision on their career are one of my most satisfying achievements.
