Swachetna Leadership

With an MBA in Finance and a strong background in strategic planning and organizational development, I’ve always believed in the power of sustainable, purpose-driven initiatives. My journey into the development sector took shape with the co-founding of Swachetna Foundation in 2023 — a cause close to my heart, aimed at transforming lives and building resilient communities across India.

Swachetna is more than a foundation; it’s a vision for inclusive growth. From empowering women with livelihood skills to ensuring food security, education, and health for underprivileged families, our mission is rooted in holistic community development. My financial expertise plays a key role in designing programs that are not only impactful but also scalable and accountable.

What drives me every day is the opportunity to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity — especially for women, children, and farmers in rural and underserved regions. I believe that financial literacy, access to resources, and dignity in livelihood are the cornerstones of true empowerment.

At Swachetna, we are not just offering help — we are enabling transformation. And I’m proud to be part of a team that believes in building change, one step at a time.

Alongside my work in IT, there's a cause that truly drives me: the Swachetna Foundation. We started it in Pune, Maharashtra, in 2023, with a big dream to help build a stronger, healthier, and more self-reliant India. It’s more than just a non-profit; it's a place where we roll up our sleeves and work on many different fronts to make a real difference.

Our story is all about helping communities grow from the ground up. We pour our hearts into holistic community development, striving to uplift lives by tackling some of the most fundamental needs. That means everything from making sure families have food security and kids get a good education, to championing women's health, supporting our farmers, and helping people find financial independence. As Mahatma Gandhi beautifully put it, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." That sentiment truly guides everything we do at Swachetna, reflecting our deep commitment to serving humanity.

I have been actively involved in social work since childhood, starting with polio drop drives through Rotary Club of Kalyani Nagar, Pune. Over the years, this passion has only grown stronger. I served as a Charter Member of the Rotaract Club of Koregaon Park, Pune, dedicating over a year to community-based initiatives. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with various NGOs on impactful campaigns such as food donation, book distribution, and youth engagement drives.

My commitment to service extended globally during my time in Canada, where I worked with the Rotaract Clubs of London, Ontario and Edmonton on multiple social projects. These experiences have shaped my belief that meaningful change begins with consistent effort and collaboration—regardless of borders.

Professionally, I work as a Financial Services Provider, and I bring the same strategic mindset and discipline to my role as Chief Operating Officer at Swachetna Foundation. My focus is on driving operational excellence, building sustainable programs, and ensuring our team delivers real impact where it’s needed most.

At Swachetna Foundation, we’re not just running projects—we’re building a movement. And I’m honored to be part of that journey.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Humanities from Delhi University, and over the years, I’ve dedicated myself wholeheartedly to meaningful, hands-on community service. My professional background in the pharmaceutical industry sharpened my understanding of the importance of medical access and healthcare awareness—knowledge that has greatly enriched my social work.

As an active member of the Rotary Club and now stepping into a leadership role within the NGO, I have led several impactful initiatives across diverse causes. From empowering underprivileged children through education and development programs to championing women’s health and hygiene, my focus has always been on driving real change. I have spearheaded food donation campaigns for the needy, organized support for differently-abled individuals, and led tree plantation drives to combat climate change and promote sustainability.

What sets my journey apart is the deep personal commitment I bring to every cause I take up. Each project is not just an initiative—it’s a mission to uplift, support, and transform lives. As I take on this new responsibility within the NGO, I am inspired to scale our efforts, expand our impact, and continue working towards a more compassionate, equitable, and sustainable world.
