Systems practitioner. Independent consultant. Strategist.
Based in Bengaluru, working across the Indo-Pacific.
I am a systems practitioner, facilitator, and researcher. For fifteen years I have worked at the intersection of climate change, food systems, urban resilience, and gender equity — supporting organisations, coalitions, and communities in India and across the Indo-Pacific to navigate complex transitions.
My work has taken me from handloom weaving clusters to energy transition rooms in India, from conversations with Māori practitioners in Aotearoa to water governance forums in Bengaluru, from regenerative agriculture pilots in Madhya Pradesh to climate civil society capacity work during a pandemic. The through-line, across all of it, has been a commitment to understanding how change really happens — and what practitioners need to stay with that work.
I now work independently because I believe my best contribution is as someone who moves across organisations, geographies, and disciplines. Holding the connective tissue. Helping people see patterns. Creating conditions for transformation rather than just delivering projects.
