I serve as the manager of the Indigenous People & Local Communities (IPLC) Desk at the Ecological Restoration Alliance – India, in collaboration with Keystone Foundation, where I focus on amplifying Indigenous and local community leadership in ecological restoration efforts.

I’m also an an architect and have worked at the intersection of architecture and sustainable development. This journey started during my undergraduate studies, when I developed a strong interest in sustainable architecture, environmental planning, and energy-efficient building solutions. This passion for addressing environmental challenges led me to pursue a career dedicated to creating positive social and environmental impact.

I’ve led and executed programs across sectors like youth development, climate action, and sustainable development, policy, research, and community mobilization, and am committed to creating sustainable solutions for marginalized communities and fostering positive social change.
