More about me
I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Environmental Anthropology at University College London (UCL), where I’m exploring how ideas of “development” are lived, remembered, and reimagined—especially by communities shaped by migration, memory, and ecological change.
Before this, I spent over 13 years working across ethical design, craft revival, and cultural education—building a practice rooted in sustainability, storytelling, and systems thinking. I collaborated with artisan communities, academic institutions, government programs, and NGOs across India and Europe.
But beneath the professional path lies a personal one. My family once ran cotton ginning mills in Punjab—until the legacy of Partition and the Green Revolution unraveled both livelihoods and land. That history seeded a lifelong inquiry into what it means to belong, to rebuild, and to heal.
My work today—whether in research, teaching, or consulting—grows from that space. A desire to connect the seen and unseen, the material and the meaningful. I’m especially drawn to futures that are not just sustainable, but also sane, equitable, and culturally alive.

Journey So Far
My work has always been about more than just craft or design—it’s been an exploration of culture, care, and systems. From launching ethical fashion lines to facilitating craft training and consulting across geographies, I’ve sought to honour traditional knowledge while rethinking how we create and consume.
Through Sedhantik and other initiatives, I’ve worked closely with artisan communities, NGOs, government bodies, and academic institutions. These collaborations helped me realize that what excites me most is not retail or operations—but the thinking, storytelling, and systems behind it all.
That realization led me to education, advisory roles, and eventually to deeper research. As I now expand my lens through anthropology and sustainability studies, this portfolio reflects where I’ve been—and hints at where I’m going.
