I believe in the idea that we can leave the world a better place than we inherited. I strive to help people and businesses have a positive impact on the planet, one act at a time. With a personal mission to be a catalyst in the transition to a zero carbon economy (aka 'Mission Shunya') I collaborate with people and businesses to develop and implement products and solutions that align with my mission. I have implemented projects in solar power, energy storage and electric mobility. A Chevening scholar and a masters graduate from the University of Cambridge. In 2019, received the Economic Times Young Leader award.
