Leadership

During the Covid19 pandemic I realised that the elderly living alone would have a problem arranging items of daily need while staying inside for safety against the virus. I started a volunteer based organisation Errands for Elders in Panchkula to run errands for the elderly at no extra cost to them. I later expanded it to the Chandigarh Tricity, Delhi NCR Region, Meerut, and Goa. My immediate goal for EFE is to get more volunteers involved in these cities so that we can help more elderly people efficiently. Over the next year, I plan to expand Errands for Elders to include more semi-urban and urban cities. Errands for Elders has been able to assist over 1000 elderly living alone.

Founder & CEO, Ecosphere

Ecosphere is an enviro-tech company I founded to help preserve the environment by privatising it. We aim to make every individual a stake holder in the environment, so they consciously try to preserve it instead of destroying it. To reduce carbon emissions, we are working on a targeted Emission Trading System for organisations present in countries that do not have their own ETS. The Ecosphere ETS is based on a cap and trade mechanism. We are also working on FireLine, an AI research that predicts locations sensitive to forest fires. We developed Greta-one of the world's first eco voice assistants-which helps you to reduce your environmental impact with its various features.
