Professional Experience:
With 10+ years of work experience in Global South, I am adept at spearheading the establishment of inclusive partnerships between communities, donors, and not-for-profit organizations, which have resulted in sustained long-term social impact. I have a steadfast commitment to leveraging funding opportunities while effectively managing teams and grants for diverse organizations, including those focused on climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience, women empowerment, healthcare, education, and environment.
Throughout my career, I have achieved successful outcomes in developing and mobilizing funding, showcasing exceptional capabilities to navigate various sectors and drive positive change. Moreover, while my experience has afforded me a well-rounded skill set, I have:
- Utilized active strategies to engage with city government to ensure the successful implementation of inclusive climate action initiatives to engage and recognise marginalised frontline workers in Bengaluru's climate action.
- Facilitated the cultivation and maintenance of robust relationships with both existing and potential donors, leading to enhanced access to pertinent information and proactive positioning for forthcoming grant funding prospects resulting in a fundraising total of $1 MN for setting up a non-profit hospital.
An eager learner, I pride myself on my ability to successfully take on new challenges and develop ever-expanding areas of expertise. My career has enabled me to develop an in-depth understanding and experience of inclusive dialogues and engagements to scale programs and secure support for future endeavours across multiple grassroots organizations and INGOs. I continue to evolve with deeper passion and meaningful impact that I want to make in the world, both directly and indirectly.
