About the speaker
I introduce myself as a Systems thinker and Design thinker. These abilities have helped me to be both – a Microscope and a Telescope in my endeavours. My education – Master’s in Product Design & PGPM in Product Management, and my career as an Aerospace engineer has nurtured my sensitivity towards the nuances of Systems around us. I am on a mission to reduce the adverse impact of human activities on our planet. Be it in my profession, as a Data Product manager helping leadership in airlines take data driven decisions and reduce carbon emissions, or as an individual co-founding Systems Innovation (Si) Bangalore hub, a community which is exploring and educating people on complex problem solving. With Si, I regularly facilitate Global Warming workshops, educating and sensitising people towards the risks of Global Warming and help them initiate small changes in their life which go a long way in addressing the challenge. Previously, I was a key contributor in A350 and other aircraft design at Airbus. I have led the Innovation and Sustainability strategy at Airbus. I love to spend time with nature, and often travel to western ghats. I enjoy exploring Indian culture and the interconnections between Yoga, Spiritual practices and the positive influences they have in our society.
