AN INVITATION, NOT AN APPLICATION

A good conversation can start anywhere.

Hello, I'm Sahil. I write, research, build things for the web, and sometimes turn questions about human experience into fragrance experiments.

If something here sparks a question, a collaboration idea, or a friendly disagreement, you're welcome to write.

No forms, no pressure, no guaranteed response time. Just a real address.

01 / PICK A DOOR

What brings you here?

Different conversations deserve different beginnings. Pick the closest one—or skip straight to email.

02 / THE DIRECT ROUTE

Rather skip the introductions?

That's completely fine. A short, specific note is enough to begin. You don't need a polished pitch or a clever opening line.

03 / BEFORE YOU SAY HELLO

A little context.

You can look around first. The public work is a better introduction than a long list of claims.

Sahil Tayal is based in New Delhi. His work brings together writing, independent inquiry into behaviour and organisational life, creative technology, and perfumery experiments. These are independent projects, not institutional endorsements.

04 / A FEW HUMAN QUESTIONS

Before you hit send.

No small print disguised as a welcome mat.

Do I need a fully formed proposal?

No. A clear question or a few lines of context is enough. If you're proposing paid work, it helps to include the goal, approximate scope and any important constraints.

Will I definitely get a reply?

No guarantee, and no stated response deadline. A thoughtful message is welcome, but availability, relevance and capacity vary.

Can I send a disagreement or critique?

Yes. Specific, evidence-based challenges to the public work are welcome. Respectful disagreement is more useful than automatic agreement.

Does this page collect my message?

No. The email links open your own email application; this website has no enquiry database and doesn't ask you to type a message into a form. Your email provider handles what you send. Optional site-interaction analytics, if configured and enabled with permission, are explained below.

A NOTE ON PRIVACY

An open door should respect a closed one.

There is no website contact form here. Choosing an email link passes the selected subject to your email app; your message goes through your email provider. The copy button only copies the public address to your clipboard.

Optional Google Analytics can measure broad page interactions only when this site's owner configures it and you allow it. This page does not send your message, name or email address as analytics event data. Your analytics choice is saved in this browser.
