My passion for sustainability began while backpacking across India where I saw how inefficient waste and water systems directly harmed communities and ecosystems. As I moved into the corporate world, working in procurement at Pfizer and consulting at Accenture, I noticed a recurring pattern. Sustainability was often treated as a checkbox, disconnected from daily operations where real impact could be made. This gap motivated me to start EcoSense Enviro Solutions in 2020. I wanted to bring practical, data-driven sustainability into essential services like waste collection and water management.

We began with a city-scale deployment in Ranchi, India, where we geo-tagged over 200,000 households and introduced QR-coded bins, real-time dashboards, and IoT sensors. This transformed an opaque, complaint-driven system into one built on performance visibility and measurable outcomes. The results were clear: better service delivery, fewer citizen complaints, and stronger trust between municipalities and residents.

Today, I lead EcoSense with a mission to make sustainability operational. We help cities, businesses, and hospitality clients track and reduce their resource footprint using technology that is integrated into everyday workflows. I believe sustainability must be built into infrastructure, logistics, and human behaviour in order to scale. What brought me to sustainability was not just science or policy, but the opportunity to redesign systems in ways that are cleaner, smarter, and more inclusive.

I lead the deployment of IoT-based platforms for waste collection, water auditing, and real-time sustainability dashboards. We have implemented geotagging, smart bins, and ESG-aligned KPIs across cities and commercial sites.

We faced low tech adoption and data silos. We overcame these by creating systems and services rooted in ground reality while leveraging technology with mobile-first tools, offering local training, and designing open APIs for easy integration.

Transforming waste systems across multiple cities in India, our solution has improved service delivery and reduced citizen complaints by over 40%. A project we implemented in Indonesia focused on ocean-bound plastic is especially close to my heart. We developed a track and trace mechanism and facilitated the listing of plastic credits on the Plastic Credit Exchange (PCX) in the Philippines. This initiative not only addressed the critical issue of marine plastic pollution but also opened up new avenues for sustainable financing with measurable impact.
