I am the Founder and CEO of Waatavaran, a not-for-profit social venture that aims to create a climate just environment for present and future generations. With an MBA in Social Entrepreneurship and over 22 years of experience in leading and managing social and environmental programs, I have the skills and knowledge to design and implement innovative and sustainable solutions to the pressing challenges of our times.My journey as a social entrepreneur began from my humble background as a farmer's son, who struggled to access quality education and faced the impacts of poverty and climate change. I overcame these obstacles and pursued my passion for learning and making a difference. I established Waatavaran in 2018, after working with renowned organizations such as Paani Foundation, Yuva and Video Volunteers, where I spearheaded successful campaigns and interventions on issues such as watershed management, biodiversity, clean air, mobility and secure the custodianship of indigenous people in ancestral forest land. At Waatavaran, I collaborate with diverse stakeholders, including community, government, and market, to empower and uplift the people and the planet.
