I am a Mumbai-based naturalist, wildlife educator, and experiential travel facilitator with over a decade of field experience across India. My work focuses on interpreting both urban and wild landscapes through the lens of ecology, biodiversity, and conservation. Having spent several years in the Andaman Islands and extensively exploring ecosystems like the Western Ghats and Mumbai’s green spaces, I bring a strong understanding of both terrestrial and marine environments. In Mumbai, I regularly lead nature walks, birding trails, and conservation-focused experiences across mangroves, forests, wetlands, and other urban biodiversity hotspots. I have been recognised with the Young Naturalist Award and the Grassroots Champion Award, and have also served as a jury member and speaker at the Indian Responsible Tourism Awards – Maharashtra Chapter (2026). Through my work, I aim to make nature more accessible and meaningful, encouraging people to engage with the environment not just as observers, but as responsible participants.
