About

I work at the intersection of bio-based and circular materials, design, production systems, and enterprise development. The practice is grounded in long-term, hands-on application using both natural and discarded materials—bamboo, natural fibers, plastics, textiles, and industrial waste—within real market conditions.

​

This work has evolved under practical constraints: informal labor environments, irregular material supply, limited capital, and extended time horizons. My role has been operational and process-driven—designing training structures, establishing production workflows, and refining systems through continuous iteration. The focus remains on material behavior, execution discipline, and understanding performance at scale.

​

I founded Bamboo House India in 2006 to apply this approach across housing, furniture, and consumer product categories. The practice spans material sourcing, product development, production systems, and market integration, built through sustained, on-ground execution. The work can be seen at www.bamboohouseindia.org & www.recyclique.com

​

My work operates within constrained labor and production systems to design products and build sustained livelihoods, including engagement with prisoners, women in sex work, juveniles in conflict with law, SHG women, and rural and tribal artisans.

​

I engage with governments, institutions, and organizations on advisory and consulting work related to entrepreneurship, design, production systems, livelihoods, and green and circular material projects.

​

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