I am a social entrepreneur in India and a doctoral researcher at the University of Bath. My work over the last decade has had two primary objectives. First, engaging marginalised communities in representing their voices in development and policy circles. Second, working on policy/programmatic solutions that empower such communities with the tools and resources to engage more meaningfully and freely in society. I have co-founded two social enterprises working on life skills education and community mobilisation for children across socioeconomic strata and geographies in North India. My doctoral research is exploring the experiences of (un)freedom and (in)dignity with those involved in indecent work in South India, and further the role a Basic Income can play as an effective policy tool for enhancing their voice. I am also involved in activism and advocacy around Basic Income in India and the UK, and grassroots democracy and civic action.
