Most friends call me “Jell-jo” because of my jelly-like loose joints, which have given me an innate ability to stretch myself. Adept at effortlessly doing 180 degree leg splits and 360 degree arm rotations, I attribute my true flexibility to my ability to work in diverse environments from Consulting to Non-Profit Management.

Starting my career as an Analyst at Deloitte, I worked in tandem with CXOs from multinational conglomerates on translating complex business problems to succinct data oriented solutions. However, it was not until I taught underprivileged children through Deloitte’s community initiative that I came to realize my true passion towards social impact and transitioned to the non-profit sector.

Working across levels of policy, strategic development, and corporate social responsibility, I have led divisions in Marketing, Communications, and Public Relations, and facilitated corporate philanthropy partnerships. Such roles have enabled me to interface with all facets or an organization, and meet challenges of under-resourced environments by adapting to people from various socio-economic backgrounds. My experiences have inspired me to pursue international social impact as the next step.

Creative expressions of opinion have been the cornerstones of my upbringing. I devoted myself to Indian Classical music at age 7 and pursued a bachelor degree in the art before finishing my high school education. Associating with several creative mediums since, such as fashion choreography, modelling, writing, and public speaking, I have learned to fearlessly explore many unchartered territories.

Through my cultural, intellectual, and social enterprise endeavours, I strive to achieve collective action with creative foresight.
