I believe in the power of small actions leading to big impact, in the ripple effect. A degree shift today is a changed direction tomorrow.
​
​​I design and deliver experiential programs that enhance resilience and well-being in individuals and organizations. Most of my work has been with social impact organizations, regenerative businesses, and educational institutions. I have worked with groups from 5-500 in size.
​
Over the past 15 years, I have supported corporate organizations, large foundations, UN agencies, government educational systems, higher educational institutions, schools, school leaders, teachers, and facilitators through strategy, culture, program design and facilitation.
​
These organizations include NalandaWay Foundation, The Whole Truth, Teach for India, Jaipur Rugs, Make A Difference, YES Bank, RPG Foundation, R.N. Podar School, Blue Ribbon Movement, Youth Conservation Action Network, Dakshinachitra, Walmart Labs, Affle, Sun Pharmaceuticals, amongst others
Mental Health, Gender Equity, Ecology, and Wellbeing are close to my heart, while poetry, dance, theatre, and art are my soul's languages.
