I invest in learning more about myself and the world, every day.

Over the past decade, I have delbierately engaged with myriad social issues in India, spanning from education to philanthropy. This engagement opened up rich experiences and led me to work with schools in rural India, design curriculum for a youth leadership program, work on education policy and also explore entrepreneurship. My unconventional education journey coupled with my experience with people from diverse backgrounds--from children and teachers in rural India to the youth in urban India--help me connect different ideas and solutions.

What is the common sense that surrounds ‘social change’ and ‘social impact’? How is the common sense open to challenge? What does career growth mean in a polycrisis-riddled world? How can one navigate the ethical tensions of living and earning a livelihood in such a world? These are the questions that keep me ticking.
