Constant exposure to other realities makes an empathetic world.
I design experiences that sit somewhere between play, ecology, theatre, education, conversation, and adventure. Most of my work explores how people build relationships with themselves, with each other, and with the living world around them.
Over the years, I’ve worked with schools, educators, artists, ecological organisations, and communities across India, facilitating learning experiences for thousands of children and adults. My practice now moves through nature education, ecological restoration, storytelling, immersive facilitation, and interdisciplinary learning design.
In 2019, I walked over 850 km solo along the coastline of Kerala to Kanyakumari, documenting stories of people and place. That journey continues to shape how I think about listening, landscape, and connection.
I’m also a naturalist, performer, writer, and artist with a deep love for ethnobotany, forests, grasslands, and the strange ways humans make meaning.
I believe experiences can quietly change the way we inhabit the world.
Why I do what I do
My Story
My career path began when I decided to quit college in the final year. While the teachers showed us the compromises and bridges made in the real world of environmental sciences in action, what struck me was the incessant need to choose a path before one finishes a subject. The system that rewarded those who fit into the industrialization of education and leaves behind those who question it left me wondering if there was more. I was left confused and alone even as international and national organizations rewarded me for my ideas. The life path seemed uncertain.
Being the constant misfit through schooling was not new to me. Being constantly bullied by both adults and kids for being different, having a single mother or "dream too large for reality" taught me that compassion is a choice. Therefore, I choose to work on creating opportunities to build empathy.
All my projects - be it creating highly impactful exclusive experiences or designing viral experiences that break social and metal barriers, art that creates questions, performances across India that talk about a more empathetic world even through quiet anger, or larger community building and public impact - revolve around the need to create empathy through perspectives, where questions matter more than the million answers or the imagined paths that be.
This is the belief that made me walk down an 850+km coastline alone. This is the belief that made me gather a crowd of over 800 under trees for conversation. This belief leads me to teach thousands of people about the majesty of the earth and the secret garden of flora and fauna around them.
I've believed that people can be more than they let themselves believe they can be. And they've proved me right.
I believe in people.
