A few honest questions.

Who do you work with?

Philanthropic foundations, donor collaboratives, public-interest research institutes, civil society alliances, city and regional initiatives on water, energy, food, and land — and grassroots organisations. Primarily in the Indo-Pacific, with a focus on India, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

How long does an engagement typically last?

Strategy sprints are 4–8 weeks. Systems accompaniment is 6–18 months. Learning design and facilitation can be one-off or ongoing. We can discuss what makes sense for your context.

Do you work solo or with a team?

Primarily solo, though I work with a trusted network of practitioners — facilitators, sector specialists, and researchers — who I bring in on larger engagements.

Do you work outside India?

Yes. My practice is regionally focused on the Indo-Pacific — South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia/Pacific contexts. I work remotely and in-person.

What is your approach to AI?

I use AI tools (Perplexity, Claude, NotebookLM) to accelerate research synthesis and prototype development. I’m transparent about how I use them, and I always bring human judgment and relational intelligence to the parts of the work that matter most.

Can you work with grassroots organisations?

Yes — I hold a defined portion of my annual capacity for low-bono and pro-bono work with community-led organisations. Get in touch and we can have an honest conversation about what is possible.
