Maya Kamath was an Indian cartoonist. She was born in Bombay, India, and studied for an MA in English literature. She began drawing as a child, and as an adult, she worked as an artist for Macmillan Publishers and taught drawing at Sophia's School. With the Deccan Herald group's journal, The Evening Herald, I started my cartooning career in 1985. Later, she worked for Indian publications like The Asian Age, The Indian Express, and The Times of India. She also submitted drawings about the environment to the Third World collection in Germany.
