My Story

Manu-1Welcome to my blog!

I hope you will enjoy reading my posts and reflect through your comments and thoughts. As you can see from the variety on my blog, I have a wide range of interests and passions that I pursue.

My Journey

As a four years old I wanted to be a rail engine driver like most of the kids. The thrill of adventure and the idea of charting new paths fascinated me early on. While the destination changed, the spirit of exploration stayed with me. Years later, that curiosity led me to study Economics, Planning & Development from The University of Queensland. I have worked with for-purpose organizations in India and overseas, and have international development experience across multiple countries in Asia-Pacific and Africa . My focus  areas have spanned  Livelihoods, entrepreneurship, economic security,  environmental sustainability, and ending Tuberculosis. I also took an entrepreneurial journey, founded three start-ups, and angel invested in half a dozen other ventures. Today, I serve as the Head of Development & Scale at Humana People to People India, leading community-centered solutions to complex development challenges. I am currently based in New Delhi, India, continuing the journey I once imagined, as a driver of change.

Personal Info 

I enjoy travel, films, reading, model building, and music in my free time. I passionately follows discussions on start-ups, social technologies and impact investing, and am always ready to discuss innovative ideas over a cup of cappuccino.
