About me

Three things to know about me

I have experience handling projects with the aim of developing innovative and sustainable measures

In a previous role I proposed and implemented innovative methods of resource management in the Indian Himalayas, through which I learnt from grassroot interactions what it takes to carry out a project.

Sunlight and time outdoors!

There is nothing that gives me energy like spending time outdoors in touch with the natural world. I stay true to my roots and love cooking, eating and sharing the delight of Indian food!

The art of cooking and the idea of home.

I stay true to my roots and love cooking, eating and sharing the delight of Indian food! I believe that good food can serve a purpose far beyond satisfying hunger, from a passion to experiment as well as bringing back a sense of comfort and home.
