"What is a career if not meaningful and impactful?"

Even before finalising my master’s degree in Sustainability and Social Innovation from HEC Paris, I had developed an expertise in strategy consulting, social entrepreneurship and social impact assessment, especially as the co-founder of non-profit AQWA, which supports social enterprises and NGOs through social impact assessment studies.

In 2018, I moved to Kolkata, India, where I joined educational conglomerate Techno India Group, as Sustainability Director. In this position, I am striving to create more learning and professional opportunities for students in the sustainability sector, especially through our network-based venture Y-East.

I have developed an expertise and passion for building communities towards sustainability, being notably associated with the following community-based ventures: Y-East, Youth for Sustainability India Alliance and Learning Planet by CRI, France.
