Career

[edit]

Sanghani's motivation to pursue a career in journalism was sparked by the example set by Sue Lloyd-Roberts, particularly her investigative work that shed light on the constraints faced by women worldwide.[6] In 2012, she embarked on a role as a graduate trainee at The Daily Telegraph and remained with the publication for five years, serving as a features writer and columnist.[citation needed] As of September 2017 she works as a freelance writer. Sanghani specialises in gender issues, social affairs and lifestyle feature writing.[7]

In 2015, Sanghani garnered attention by asserting that office air conditioning is sexist. Her assertion evoked a range of responses, spanning from negative reactions to outright ridicule.[8]
