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

Over the past decade, I have engaged with myriad social issues 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, contribute to education policy and also explore entrepreneurship in higher education. My unconventional education journey coupled with experiences of engaging with diverse communities--from children and teachers in rural India, youth in urban India, to nonprofit leaders and philanthropists in the third sector--help me connect different ideas and solutions.

What can impact-oriented career pathways look like in the 21st century? What does career growth even mean in a polycrisis-riddled world? How can one navigate the ethical tensions of earning a living and living a ‘free’ life in such a world? These are the questions that keep me ticking.
