About me

I am the CEO of the Centre for Green Mobility and the Founding Director of Quantum Leap Studio. Over the past two decades, I have worked across cities in India and internationally, learning that real urban transformation happens when policy meets empathy and design meets people’s lived realities. My work focuses on reimagining city-regions and neighborhoods through active mobility, equitable access, sustainable transport, and meaningful behavior change. I believe cities are not just systems to be optimized, but communities to be nurtured. Through the CITIIS Forum mentoring program, I hope to support aspiring and budding professionals in thinking boldly, acting pragmatically, and building climate-resilient, people-first urban futures on a global platform.
