What I'm looking for

I’m interested in cultural diplomacy, language education, Indo-Russian relations, and BRICS policy, especially work that creates meaningful cultural exchange and cross-border dialogue.

I founded CULTURA FOUNDATION to work across youth engagement, cultural exchange, education, international cooperation, and sustainable action. My interest in Russian began at the Russian Centre of Science and Culture in New Delhi and grew into a path between India and Russia.

As a freelance Russian translator, I translate Russian content into English and Hindi, including articles, documents, cultural materials, and policy-relevant work on Indo-Russian relations and BRICS. I also organised the Tolstoy and Gandhi Conference Series, and presented a portrait of Leo Tolstoy that is displayed at Yasnaya Polyana.
