During my professional journey over the last 24 years, I have worked on various thematic focus areas, like supporting communities to protect village commons, anti-human trafficking, child protection, working with men on gender, corporate social responsibility, etc. A key takeaway from these experiences is the realization that the underlying systemic causes that perpetuate most challenges faced in these seemingly diverse issues are inter-connected and remain invisible in plain sight.

My core strengths are my ability to walk off well-trodden paths and to persevere against all odds. Guided by a quest to manifest values like dignity, equality, compassion and harmony in all that I do – I mindfully strive to be the change that I want to see. I have an ability to hold space for bridging different worldviews and to create alignments.

I believe that our current default business as usual modes are inadequate for effectively solving the complex challenges that humanity faces in the Anthropocene. To survive on earth, we must align with nature and transform systems that don’t. A lot of my current efforts are focused on exploring ways of generating personal and systemic transformations, so that we are able to heal ourselves and our planet.
