My work with the Foundation is in two areas- Education and Sanitation. One cannot look at addressing the issues of sanitation without looking at educational reforms. Better skill comes from better education, ethics and values. At the same time, sanitation cannot be looked with the purview of toilets alone. It is a combination of solid waste management, toilets and hygiene. At the foundation, I work on bringing both these sectors together.

At India Water Portal, I worked on creating content based on my travel in Maharashtra and Goa. Apart from that, I also curated content for Solid Waste Management Topics page. In addition to that, I helped co-host offline events related to water and sanitation with various partners in the region. As nature of work, I co-ordinated with volunteers who got in touch with us online and offline.

At the Institute of Sustainable Development, I interned on two projects- Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) and District Vulnerability Analysis for Flood Prone districts in Bihar for UNICEF. I took the role of a research assistant, working on different models for measuring poverty and inculcating that in the project. The projects involved field work in Nandurbar and Dhule and interactions with Government Officials.
