Concurrently, following Prof. C. P. Snow’s tradition of "bridging the Two Cultures," Dr. Roy is an established literary figure and independent columnist. He has spent over half a decade contributing regular socio-cultural commentary and features to major Indian print and digital daily newspapers, including Pratidin, Bartaman, Eisamay, and Aajkal.

As an essayist, he tracks the systemic impact of technology on social psychology and human focus through cultural, advocating for a pragmatist, realist path forward. Dr. Roy holds a Ph.D. from Sabancı University and is based in Nice, France, where he archives his dual-career portfolio on this archive.
