ABOUT ME

For over a decade, I’ve been driving social and environmental transformation through non-profits, particularly in collaboration with remarkable women and queer-led organizations. I leverage these rich experiences and networks to actively forge innovative pathways for resilience and justice in our world today.

I bring in-depth experience in grantmaking strategy and implementation across Asia and Oceania through an international women’s fund. My dedication to grassroots activism continues as a community organiser within queer feminist spaces in Kerala and as a co-founder of Menstruation Matters (formerly Sustainable Menstruation Kerala Collective) since 2017. Passionate about promoting sustainable menstrual health rights and equity, I’ve played a pivotal role in co-creating partnerships across India.

As a committed advocate for feminist climate justice, I’ve developed comprehensive training programs and facilitated capacity-building activities in climate advocacy, both regionally and in multilateral negotiation spaces. Additionally, I’ve co-led digital communication, advocacy, monitoring, and evaluation, amplifying membership strategies in regional and global civil society engagement spaces.

I have a proven track record of impactful interventions and actions on the international stage, having served as an observer and delegation head at various United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change conferences, including COP23 in Bonn (2017), COP24 in Katowice, Poland (2018), and SBI/SBSTA in Bangkok (2018).

My personal journey, rooted in my experience as a survivor and of being born into an oppressor-caste group, has informed my work approaches, and the need for co-creating a just and equitable future for all.

My insights and work have also been featured in a range of prominent platforms, including Global Voices, Aikyam Space, Bookish, the IndiaBookStore blog, Asia Times, The Hindu, HuffPost, Eartha Mag, The Logical Indian, Missy Magazine, Reuters, FrankfurterRundschau, El Pais, Feminism in India, Youth ki Awaaz.
