"Growing up, I was always drawn to big challenges and problem-solving. Early on, I led education initiatives that mobilized millions in funding, improving schools across India and providing 250,000+ underprivileged children with access to quality education. Later, I worked with the Government of Okushiri Island in Japan to develop economic revival strategies for long-term sustainability. These experiences reinforced the power of strategic thinking and structured problem-solving in driving meaningful change.

My career took me from leading billion-dollar M&A deals to expanding financial inclusion in fintech to advising investors on impact-driven strategies. But no matter the industry, one thing remained clear—consulting frameworks and data-driven decision-making are critical in solving complex challenges. Yet, most high school students rarely get the opportunity to apply these skills to real-world social impact initiatives.

That’s why I founded Consult for Impact—a platform where ambitious students engage in social impact consulting, working directly with NGOs and social enterprises in developing countries.

There’s something transformative about using strategic consulting to create change—whether it's helping an NGO refine its outreach strategy, improving financial sustainability for a social enterprise, or driving solutions that make a measurable difference. This program is where young changemakers begin their journey."
