"Use your wild privilege to do something meaningful," a friend of mine once said to me. And that's what I am trying to do: for the last decade, I have been working towards a set of socially relevant causes, even as I explored and built my creativity.

​

Currently, I am the Founder and Curator (self-bestowed, fancy title :)) of "Raahi:Impact", an umbrella of initiatives that work to discuss the nuances and strengthen the development sector in India.

​

This was born in the last few months, while I have been on a career break: taking the time out to reflect on my journey, take the time out to ask the big questions, and explore experiences and visit places I otherwise wouldn't take the time out to. 

​

Previously, I've been part of the leadership team of Peepul (www.peepulindia.org) for nearly four years, working towards improving learning outcomes in the Indian public school system. And before that, I was a consultant with McKinsey & Company, working across India and South East Asia on technology, banking and the social sector.

​

I read, make music and am an amateur designer (think photography, drawing, sketching).​
