I come from Bangalore, Karnataka, and my work over the past decade has taken me across India, The UK, and the US. A lot of what I’ve been trying to understand is how development actually works in practice - how ideas, capital, and institutions come together on the ground. I now work at the intersection of development, philanthropy, and systems change, and spend time supporting people navigating careers in impact and applications like Chevening. I try to offer honest, experience-based perspectives - especially for decisions that aren’t always straightforward.
