Navigating the world, one system at a time.

I work at the intersection of energy, climate, AI and policy. 

My book, Smarter Than the Storm, explores the AI-Climate Nexus and builds out a roadmap to leverage this nexus to produce win-win outcomes. 

I am a Visiting Fellow at the Global School of Sustainability and Data Science Institute at the London School of Economics and am currently pursuing my DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford's Department of Engineering Science as the recipient of the Oxford Indira Gandhi Scholarship at Somerville College.

On sabbatical from my role as Associate Vice President at Greenko Group, I previously led an AI-focused initiative for emerging economies at Google and co-built a global air quality management solution.

I served as Adviser to India's G20 Sherpa at the G20 Secretariat, and as Chief of Staff to the CEO of NITI Aayog, India's apex policy planning agency chaired by the Prime Minister, working on decarbonization, AI, digital public infrastructure, India's COP26 strategy and COVID-19 response. I also served as India's representative to the OECD-ITF.

I hold a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in India, and an MPA in International Development from the London School of Economics. I have been a Climate Fellow at Yale and a Chevening Science and Innovation Fellow at Oxford.

Outside of work, I am a mountaineer and love exploring different countries and cultures. I am also the founder of NGO working on youth empowerment. I love spending time with my 3 lovely dogs - Tiger, Muffin and Jai. Tiger and Jai are rescued Indies, and Muffin is a toy poodle.
