Growing up with exhilarating experiences in India, pursuing engineering, and later working in technology has always been exciting. After a multi-decade career as a global executive and consultant across Information Technology, Operations, and Efficiency Management—spanning sectors such as Finance, Pharmaceuticals, Retail, and more—There was a growing desire to do something more and pursue interests closer to my heart.

Besides all this, have been blessed to be involved in a range of socio-philanthropic initiatives since 2000. These include running an advocacy campaign with the United States Congress during the Clinton administration, which contributed to the passage of the historic AC21 Act for H-1B immigration reform; Serving since 2010 as a Goodwill Ambassador to Rajasthan State’s Project Tiger in India; – In 2018, leading an initiative to define the ecosystem of “The Great Outdoors” to provide a holistic framework, support policy reforms, and strengthen multiple facets of outdoor engagement. Each of these has been an exciting and deeply meaningful pursuits.

Spending most of my time across India and North America—and traveling extensively across multiple continents for interests in exploration, trekking, high-altitude mountaineering, and wildlife photography—has deepened my awareness of the urgent challenges facing development, conservation, sustainability, mountain protection, and climate change. These concerns have become increasingly evident over the years. I now look forward to contributing to the UN’s 2030 agenda for sustainable development (SDG) and the UN’s 2050 goal through policy reform and CSR-led initiatives.

This work has been developed under the GALLOP (Global Livelihoods and Landscape Recovery Platform) Initiative since 2020, in collaboration with colleagues worldwide across all three UN conventions—UNCCD, UNCBD, and UNFCCC. While the full impact is yet to unfold, it is an exciting area of work and one that will undoubtedly help shape the future of our planet and generations to come.
