He was born in Jabalpur, India[3] and completed his primary education at St. Aloysius Senior Secondary School.[4] He then attended the University of East Anglia and received a Master of Arts in Journalism.[5][6]
He published his first collection of poems April is Lush in 2019. In 2023, his anthology Over the Rainbow: India’s Queer Heroes was published by Juggernaut Books during India’s marriage equality hearings.[3][7][8] The book was featured by The Indian Express as a top Pride Month read.[9] The Hindu described it as “lucidly written,”[10] and Hindustan Times noted that it “presents the stories of 19 queer people who have done their bit to bring about positive change in society.”[11]
He has spoken at various literary festivals, including the Hyderabad Literary Festival and New Delhi's Rainbow Lit Fest, one of India's largest LGBT literary festivals.[12][13] Aditya actively engages in advocacy for the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community.[14][15] His work has appeared in several national and international publications including The Times of India, Hindustan Times, PinkNews, and The Telegraph.[16][17][18][19]
In 2022, he produced and hosted a six-part radio series on the BBC, which primarily focused on a range of diverse experiences, including men’s mental health.[6][20] He later served as a producer at the BBC in 2024,[21][22] and in 2025 was selected to participate in a cross-border programme organised by the Goethe-Institut in partnership with Deutsche Welle (DW) and other collaborators, aimed at rebuilding trust in the media.[23]
