About

Hello! I am Diksha Karapurkar a GIS instructor and Earth Science teacher based in the former mining belts of Goa where the nature re-establishing itself amidst increasing population and changing climatic trends. For me, every dataset is an opportunity to solve an environmental challenge. I work at the intersection of environmental science and geospatial technology, helping transform data into insights that address today’s most pressing challenges. With a background in remote sensing, GIS, and Earth sciences, I have supported 1000+ learners and professionals in applying geospatial tools for research and practical problem-solving. My work spans environmental risk assessment, natural resource monitoring, urban growth analysis, and climate-linked studies, always with a focus on real-world impact. These are few of the many thing that I bring to the table: Expertise in satellite data analysis (RS & GIS) Strong foundation in environmental & Earth system research Experience designing research-based training programs Applied solutions in LULC mapping, hazard assessment, and ecological monitoring Collaborative, problem-solving approach to projects As the founder of PRAVINYA RESEARCH, I design and deliver affordable, research-focused courses and hands-on camps that empower students and researchers with geospatial skills. Alongside this, I take on freelance RS & GIS projects and continue to contribute to academic and applied research. I am open to freelance collaborations and professional opportunities where I can contribute my skills in geospatial analysis and environmental problem-solving. Let’s connect to explore how we can work together toward solutions for a more sustainable future!
