Creative Playground I’ve Built for Myself

I’ve always been drawn to diverse experiences and collaborations that push me to grow. Over the years, I have curated experiences, knowledge, and skills which have allowed me to develop a toolbox rooted in creativity, strategic thinking, and technical skills.

Working with stakeholders ranging from grassroots organizations to multilateral banks across Asia, Europe, and North America has made me a better communicator and learner. I’ve learned that the most effective communication blends the power of storytelling with solid data and a well-crafted strategy. I’m passionate about using this approach to build

compelling narratives that resonate with audiences while driving measurable results. Whether it’s through a visually stunning infographic, a behaviour change campaign, or a simple yet powerful story, I believe that communication should be clear, tailored, and, above all, impactful.

My First Documentary –
Women and Religion in India

“Women and Religion in India” is a project that I am most proud of.

As the country’s first national level film to explore the intersection of religion and women’s rights, this documentary sheds light on religion’s profound influence
on women’s lives in India. The film delves into the stories of women from various religious backgrounds, highlighting their struggles, resilience, and the systemic challenges they
face. It serves as a powerful tool to spark conversations about gender equality and the need for reform within religious contexts.
