About me

I’m the founder of Development Wala, India’s leading platform supporting careers, hiring, and capacity-building in the social and development sector. Through Development Wala, I work closely with students, early professionals, and experienced practitioners to help them break into and grow within the social sector. From NGO careers to global education pathways, my work focuses on making this space more accessible, structured, and opportunity-driven. I provide 1:1 personalised mentorship on Topmate, guiding individuals on: • Social sector career strategy (NGOs, policy, CSR, development consulting) • CV, LinkedIn, and job readiness • Higher education pathways (TISS, APU, UK universities) • Scholarships like Chevening and other global opportunities Each session is practical, tailored, and grounded in real sector experience — not generic advice. You leave with clarity, actionable steps, and a clear direction. Beyond individual mentorship, Development Wala also runs structured programs and ecosystem solutions — including job platforms, recruitment support, and career pathways — connecting thousands of professionals with meaningful opportunities in the social sector. If you’re navigating career confusion, planning higher studies, or trying to build a meaningful career in the development sector, I’d be happy to support your journey.
