"I am a water and climate policy specialist who bridges grassroots realities with global frameworks, ensuring solutions are co-created, equitable, and grounded in local context."
"My lived experience in India's climate-vulnerable communities taught me that water governance fails without amplifying women's voices and embedding local wisdom into policy."
"I am committed to turning water stress into resilience by building partnerships that transform climate risks into actionable, gender-responsive strategies for a secure water future."
