Julia Trouilloud has been working in the field of cultural cooperation for the past ten years, across India, France and South Korea. She is currently Attaché for Books and Ideas at the French Institute in India, where she handles programmes for writers, publishers, translators and other book industry professionals. Her mission entails fostering deeper connections between French and Indian professionals and maintaining a French presence in India’s many literary festivals.
The French Institute is the section of the Embassy of France responsible for connecting and implementing Indo-French human exchanges. In 2023, it launched a new flagship cultural programme, the Villa Swagatam, a network of 29 residencies spread across India and France that encourages writer and artist mobility between France and India. The Rachna Books Writers Residency has been part of the program since its inception, welcoming its first writer-in-residence in July–August 2024.
