About

I’m a Sustainability Consultant passionate about embedding sustainable practices into real estate development and operations to drive the transition toward a low-carbon economy. With an MBA in Building Sustainability from Technische Universität Berlin and a Bachelor's in Architecture from Manipal Academy of Higher Education, my academic foundation is rooted in both environmental strategy and design. I’ve further broadened my perspective through international studies in Sweden, providing me with a diverse perspective on global design standards. In my current role, I work on decarbonization strategies, green building certifications (LEED, EDGE), embodied carbon assessments, and GHG inventories (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) for real estate portfolios. This hands-on experience is backed by project work across diverse markets including the U.S., Middle East, and India—enabling me to adapt sustainability solutions to different regulatory and cultural contexts. My technical toolkit includes IES-VE for energy modeling, Revit for BIM integration, and One Click LCA for life cycle and carbon analysis. I pair these with strong analytical and communication skills to create actionable insights that guide clients toward their net zero goals. I’m especially interested in roles and collaborations that focus on ESG, sustainable real estate, and climate strategy. Let’s connect if you’re working toward a greener built environment—or just curious about innovative sustainability solutions. 🌿
