I lead the Changemaker's Scholarship Programme at TSH Talent Foundation, where I am committed to expanding access to education for all. My role involves overseeing university partnerships, enhancing the scholar experience, and evaluating the impact of the foundation's initiatives to ensure sustainable outcomes. With a background in social entrepreneurship in India, I have extensive experience in designing and managing programs focused on social impact, diversity, and community development. My work has included strategic collaborations with philanthropic foundations, corporations, and government entities, including a significant merger that expanded the reach and impact of my social enterprise. I hold an MSc in Prosperity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship from University College London, where I specialized in coalition-building for social impact. At TSH Talent Foundation, my mission is to promote education equity by breaking down socio-economic and cultural barriers to learning.
