I believe that change starts by empowering the youth. I have undertaken several endeavors beyond my full-time work to facilitate this -

About my work at Citta

I am the Co-founder of Citta, a social venture focused on making mental health more accessible to Indian students. Citta received seed funding from The Resolution Project, a US-based non-profit that supports young social entrepreneurs around the world. For my work at Citta, I received the Diana Award, in the name of the Princess of Wales, the most prestigious award a young person can get for their social and humanitarian work.
