Janvi Sonaiya is a multimedia journalist, geopolitical analyst, and founder of the community platform Geopolitics and Beyond. With more than a decade of experience in political reporting and international affairs, she brings rare on-the-ground perspective to some of the world's most consequential stories. Her work spans the full breadth of global journalism. Her reporting and analysis have appeared in internationally recognised outlets including Indo-Asian News Service (IANS), CNN, Al Jazeera, NBC News, The Wire, Iran Daily, Think BRICS, and The Times of India, as well as major Indian publications such as DNA, Dainik Bhaskar, and The Times Group — a cross-continental reach that speaks to both her credibility and the depth of her sourcing. What sets her apart is a career built not behind a desk, but in the field. She witnessed the 2024–25 American elections firsthand, reported from Israel in 2025, and represented India at BRICS summits in Russia bringing her audience closer to the events reshaping the global order. Her extensive travels across Japan, China, Thailand, and beyond have sharpened her understanding of Asian geopolitics in ways few journalists can claim. She is available for speaking engagements on geopolitics, South-South relations, BRICS dynamics, political journalism, and the evolving media landscape in a multipolar world.
Her international engagement extends well beyond bylines. She is a Team Member of the BRICS Media Platform, a delegate of the InteRussia Program 2024, a speaker at the BRICS Plus Forum 2023, and a participant in the International BRICS Youth Camp and the South Africa–India Youth Forum. She also represented India at the Universal Youth Leadership Summit 2024 in Thailand. She serves as an Honorary Expert with the International Youth Edu-Skills Foundation. Through Geopolitics and Beyond, she has built a community dedicated to making complex geopolitical developments accessible, contextual, and consequential connecting audiences to the forces shaping statecraft, diplomacy, and power in the 21st century.
