I co-authored 'Young Changemakers' with 11 incredible young people from across the world. Released in late 2022, this book is meant to show you that there is no cookie-cutter way to solve the problems that matter to you. This is not a self-help book. This is not a book meant to give you FOMO about your life. It is an honest snapshot from the lives of young people changing the world in their own little (and big) ways.
Through 'Young Changemakers' I share some of my deeply personal experiences, which don't come out in ordinary conversations. I am equally excited and nervous about it and I can't wait to hear from my readers
P.S. Our book was an Amazon Bestseller in the New Releases category and won the second place in the Young Adult Category at the Spring 2023 Bookfest Awards Check out the book here

As a volunteer for Women for Politics (now a part of CGAP foundation), I wrote two research backed articles about the women's suffrage movement in India and women's political participation in Maldives respectively. This was my first experience with writing articles from a historical and policy lens. In addition, I contributed to their Worth Asking series, where we interviewed the Health Minister of Bhutan and transcribed the conversation.
