Hi there! I’m a passionate advocate for climate resilience and sustainability. My journey started over a decade ago in my home state of Kerala, where I saw firsthand how communities—especially those in rural and coastal areas—can be both vulnerable to climate challenges and powerful agents of change.As the CEO of Sustera Foundation, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside inspiring young people, grassroots leaders, and climate advocates. We started small, but with a big vision: to equip everyday people with the tools and support they need to lead climate action in their communities. From developing the Climate Leadership Program, which now has an incredible network of young changemakers, to launching participatory climate finance projects (tribegenre.com) that fund community-led energy and restoration initiatives, it’s been a journey fueled by resilience, collaboration, and a shared love for our planet.My work has taken me across many dimensions of climate action. I’ve coordinated coastal clean-ups, led ecosystem restoration projects, created climate educational programs, built a startup for upcycled products and even organized marathons to raise awareness and funds. Each experience has expanded my understanding of climate resilience, from local governance and policy to hands-on community engagement. I’ve worn many hats—project manager, fundraiser, trainer, and communicator—and I find joy in learning and adapting to meet each challenge.Whether I’m in the field working with communities, drafting strategies, training people or collaborating with partners, I’m driven by a belief that climate action must be inclusive and accessible. I love exploring new ways to make sustainability relatable and impactful, and I’m always looking for new connections and ideas to bring positive change.
