About

Navigating my way through the world, trying to understand how it really works – and in our blink-sized lifetime here, what our most meaningful contribution can be. Right now, that journey has me at Samagra, where I lead our work with the Government of Odisha, driving governance transformations across agriculture, women’s empowerment, and nutrition. Most days are an exercise in balance – zooming in on ground realities while keeping sight of the big picture; moving fast enough to deliver, yet slow enough to listen; balancing ambition with humility, and empathy with excellence. Because how I build matters just as much as what I build. :)
