  • Can you tell us about her and the important work that she did" Kakoli was the Guardian's news assistant over here and had worked for us since 2009.
  • She could find any number or contact I needed and smoothed over any and all of the bureaucratic challenges that working in India can present.
  • She made reporting here a huge joy, when it could be a huge challenge, and she was hugely well thought of by journalists for other organisations too.
