Recognized as an emerging leader by the Indian School of Business (ISB) and Shenomics, I bring a strong foundation in impactful Social Entrepreneurship—having founded Social Pukar, a widely recognized social initiative honored by the U.S. Consulate Mumbai.

My strategic marketing acumen from the startup world and my experience as a builder fuel my empathetic leadership.
