Impact & Leadership
Building bridges between students and meaningful service opportunities.
Catalyst for Causes Platform
Founder & President
Catalyst for Causes began as my response to a gap I saw in my community: students eager to volunteer, but no centralised way to connect them with credible NGOs. What started as a simple online matchmaking tool has evolved into a policy-informed platform that fosters sustainable, development-oriented service.
Relay for Life
Project Co-Head
Relay For Life is a student-led cancer awareness and fundraising initiative by the American Cancer Society, run in India with the Indian Cancer Society to honor survivors and fund patient support and prevention. As Co-Head, the goal was to preserve a school legacy while scaling reach and sustainability through new engagement and operational efficiencies. We raised ₹5,00,000+ (~USD 6,000) via ticketing, food stalls, and a ₹3,00,000 crowdfunding drive, donating all proceeds to the Indian Cancer Society for treatment and awareness initiatives.
Angel Xpress Foundation
Workshop Conductor
The Angel Xpress Foundation provides free education and life skills to underprivileged children in Mumbai. I joined as a volunteer art instructor to teach creative expression, and quickly realised that this was more than an art class. It was an exercise in access, equity, and policy in action: understanding how education can empower, and how structured programs can break cycles of disadvantage.
Greensole Foundation
Campaign Leader
Partnered with Greensole Foundation as part of the Harvard Youth Leadership Conference to identify exactly what was needed – school kits that included notebooks, stationery, and basic learning materials. Raised ₹44,000 (~USD 530), surpassing the initial goal.
Funds directly provided dozens of school kits to 40+ children who otherwise would have started the school year empty-hande
