Aditya Ghosh started Hyphen in 2023 with a single conviction: that the most interesting writing in India was being done in languages most of its readers couldn't reach.

He sets the editorial line for each issue, but is most often found doing the unglamorous work — chasing permissions, reconciling invoices, and reading slush. He believes a good magazine is mostly a question of who you choose to publish, and that the rest is logistics.
