About

As a passionate public health advocate and clinician, I bring over seven years of experience bridging medicine, public health, and global health policy. With an MBBS degree from Grant Government Medical College and a steadfast commitment to advancing health equity, I have worked on critical issues like non-communicable diseases, climate change, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across local, national, regional, and international levels.

My leadership journey includes representing over 1.5 million students across 130+ countries through key roles in the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) and serving on the Executive Board of the Medical Students’ Association of India, India’s largest student-run medical organization. I have led global advocacy efforts, coordinated public health policies, facilitated 150+ hours of peer-to-peer and non-formal training, and built partnerships with organizations like WHO. As a Youth Engagement Consultant at ReAct Asia Pacific, I mobilize youth against AMR through capacity building and advocacy.

I am proud to serve as the Regional Youth Champion for Southern and Central Asia at the Digital Transformations for Health Lab (DTH-Lab), advancing digital health solutions for climate-vulnerable regions, and as a Youth Leadership Board Member at the Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety, shaping strategic advocacy for safer roads. My internship with Karkinos Healthcare has strengthened my expertise in tobacco cessation and cancer prevention strategies. I have also completed the Ascend Leadership Course at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, equipping me with skills to address global health challenges.

My work has taken me to high-level meetings, including four World Health Assemblies, UNFCCC COP28, SB60 in Bonn, two WHO Regional Committee Meetings for South-East Asia, and the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66). I have contributed to global health knowledge through publications in journals like BMJ Global Health and policy contributions such as the Youth Manifesto for the UNGA High-Level Meeting on AMR.

As a former board member of the Global Climate and Health Alliance and the Alliance for Health Promotion, and a former member of the WHO Youth Council’s working groups, I remain committed to youth-led action in global health. My areas of focus include climate change and health, NCD prevention, digital health, and building resilient health systems for underserved communities.

Let’s connect to advance global health through innovation, advocacy, and leadership!
