I build strategic communications and fundraising materials that help mission-driven organisations secure support.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Ashoka University, I create strategic communications for development and fundraising, from brochures and fact sheets to pitch decks and achievement notices. My work has supported major fundraising closures, including a ₹250 crore donation to the School of Advanced Computing.
I develop donor and compliance communications for CSR, HNIs, and UHNIs, producing more than 180 reports annually. I have also designed proposals and pitch decks that secured ₹20+ crore in contributions and built a centralised five-year document repository.
My work also spans gender justice, peacebuilding, and research. With the London School of Economics’ Gender Justice and Security Hub and Yakjah, I have led workshops, produced podcast episodes, conducted field research, and contributed to published work on feminist and community-focused practice.
I bring experience in content writing, social media, SEO, ethnographic research, and ethical storytelling. I’m motivated by communications that help change the world for the better.
