As Founder of UdayKriti Foundation, I bring a survivor-centered lens rooted in grassroots work with adolescent youth facing deprivation and complex issues like easy access to drugs, substance abuse and inability to participate in the digital revolution that India is a part of. I hope to share our digital skilling and sports through development models and learn from others driving systemic change. From the Catalyst Now community, I seek collaboration, dialogue, and bold cross-sectoral partnerships to co-create scalable, dignified solutions for vulnerable children and youth.
