About

I work at the intersection of natural and circular materials, design systems, production, livelihoods, and enterprise building, grounded in long-term practice using natural and discarded materials, including bamboo, natural fibers, plastic, textile and industrial waste deployed in real market contexts. .

​

I founded Bamboo House India in 2006, where this work has been applied across housing, furniture, and consumer product categories. The practice spans material sourcing, product development, production systems, building livelihoods and market integration, shaped through long-term, on-ground execution.        The work can be seen at www.bamboohouseindia.org

​

​I work with women’s groups, prisoners, sex workers, juvenile boys and girls, young survivors of sexual abuse, SHG women, and rural and tribal artisans to build products and create sustained livelihoods.

 

I also worked with UNDP on plastic waste management programme over a three-year period, contributing to programme design and implementation within institutional settings.

This site documents selected projects, practice-led writing, and media conversations drawn from long-term field experience.

I am open to advisory and consulting engagements with governments, institutions, and organizations working on entrepreneurship, design, production, green, circular materials, and livelihood systems.
