About Me

My name is Riku Dhan Subba, and I serve as the Executive Director of the Bhutan Media Foundation. This blog, created in 2010 from my deep passion for writing and connecting with like-minded individuals, has evolved into a space that has not only given me an identity but also provided a platform for learning, reflection, and exploration.

I am a published author of media studies textbooks, journal articles, and a collection of short stories titled ‘In Love with Butterflies and Other Stories’. Beyond writing, I am deeply passionate about photography, traveling, research, and the art of storytelling.

My professional journey has taken me through various roles in Bhutan’s media and public sectors. I began as a journalist with the Bhutan Observer and later worked in the Royal Civil Service of Bhutan, including a secondment to BBS Channel 3 as a public officer. These experiences have enriched my understanding of media, governance, and public discourse.

Academically, I hold a Master of Public Policy and Management from Murdoch University (Western Australia) and a Bachelor of Arts in English (Honors) from Delhi University.

Originally from Chuzagang, Gelephu, I now reside in Thimphu with my wife and daughter, where I continue to explore new ideas, write, and find inspiration in everyday moments.
