She is a Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), and Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH), and the Founder of enCOMPASSion, India.** She has collaborated with individuals, educators, and leaders across grassroots collectives, schools, startups, and large organizations, including Tata Electronics, Vasudha Pharmaceuticals, Piramal Swasthya, Peace Corps Nepal, Goonj, and UNHCR Delhi.
