Building <div>I'm best described as a solution finder. Solutions can often be simple and lying around the corner. We just need to look, leaving aside out conditioning&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;Currently, as the Founder of Zyenika, I have embarked on the journey of a social entrepreneur with the aim of bringing inclusion through adaptive clothing, designed keeping in mind specific physical challenges people face. Zyenika was formed based on the needs identified from interactions with patients and people with disabilities, my own lived experience of over 80% disability.<br><br>I enjoy writing in it's many forms - be it my personal blog, journalistic writing, website content, reports and proposals for NGOs or academic papers. My experience spans over 18 years in social research, writing and editing, and programme/project planning and design in the field of health , governance and livelihood. I have brought out the 'stories'/'findings' from across the country in different forms like academic articles, policy papers, documentary films , etc. The efforts have always been towards creating a more humane space around us that is fun and still sustainable. Main interests lie in finding impact of fine art forms in everyday functions at home and work, especially, healing and therapy; food and healing; and, responsible businesses .</div>
