I've always had a thing for being at the deep end. Most of my career has been spent finding out what works and shaping the roles I have undertaken. You can refer to me as the human depiction of do it afraid and you would be right. In my quest to make meaning of my life, the life of those around me, and life in general, I have ventured into diverse areas and discovered not just myself but also other things. Therefore, I do prefer not to be boxed because I believe and know that I can do so much more. What you will find at the core of all the roles I have taken up is 'democratizing opportunities for everyone irrespective of socio-economic background'. I am driven by the desire to ensure everyone irrespective of who they are and where they are have an opportunity to succeed and live a better life.Although you'll find me mostly in the intersection of developmental research, programs, and policies - You should not be surprised about any of the other expressions of myself you come across. I am always open to new ideas, always ready to collaborate and always ready to take on the next thing that will make humanity better.
