About

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

​

This practice has been built under real operating constraints: informal labor environments, inconsistent material supply, limited capital, and long time horizons. My role has been hands-on—structuring training programmes, setting up production workflows, and refining processes through continuous practice. The emphasis is on material behavior, process discipline, and understanding what holds and what fails at scale.

​

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, livelihood building, and market integration, shaped through long-term, on-ground execution. The work can be seen at www.bamboohouseindia.org.

​

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