About

I am a Public Health Professional working at the intersection of Primary Healthcare, Nutrition, health systems strengthening. With experience spanning government collaborations, implementation research, community engagement, and capacity building, my work focuses on translating public health vision into scalable action.

Currently associated with the Indian Institute of Public Health Gandhinagar, working towards strengthening public health and nutrition systems across Gujarat through large-scale capacity building, implementation support, and health system initiatives.

Over the years, I have contributed to large-scale public health and nutrition initiatives across Gujarat:
• Led statewide scale-up of the "SATHI Team Mentoring Program" across Gujarat, supporting 70,000+ frontline healthcare workers and 9,000+ Sub-Centre Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (SC-AAMs).
• Strengthened PM POSHAN scheme through development of operational guidelines, recipe books, digital tools for malnutrition management, and AI-enabled food quality monitoring solutions.
• Developed MIYCN training resources and supported capacity building of 1,694+ frontline workers and supervisors across maternal and child nutrition programs in Gujarat.
• Supported "Bal Poshan Yojana" in Devbhumi Dwarka, benefiting 200+ SAM children through various activities.

My work involves collaboration with government departments, academic institutions, NGOs, and international organizations, including Johns Hopkins University, UNICEF, World Health Organization, Gates Foundation, Vitamin Angels, Sewa Rural, on various programs.

Beyond professional work, I am deeply committed to community wellbeing, human values, and holistic health. As an Art of Living teacher and musician, I believe sustainable public health transformation requires not only stronger systems, but also emotionally resilient and empowered communities.

My long-term interests include:
• Health Systems Strengthening
• Public Health Nutrition
• AI & Digital Health
• Primary Healthcare Innovation
• Implementation Research
• Preventive & Community Health
• Capacity Building & Workforce Development

I am always open to meaningful collaborations, research partnerships, innovation opportunities, and conversations aimed at building healthier communities through compassionate and evidence-driven public health practice.
