What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute enthusiastically to an organization’s development while enhancing my skills and knowledge in biodiversity, forestry, sustainable agriculture, and environmental standardization.

I develop biodiversity, sustainable agriculture, and environment standards as a Consultant at the Bureau of Indian Standards, including standards on tree measurement, community seed banks, mangrove restoration, and oleoresin tapping.

Previously, at the Himachal Pradesh State Biodiversity Board, I supported biodiversity conservation, People’s Biodiversity Registers, Biodiversity Management Committees, medicinal-plant cultivation, and projects including UNDP SECURE Himalaya and JICA-supported forest ecosystem management.

With an M.Sc. in Forestry (Wood Science and Technology), I have published research on thermally treated Pinus roxburghii wood and contribute through IUCN commissions and biodiversity networks.
