Hello!


I am a nonprofit and business consultant with a decade-long leadership experience in social entrepreneurship, digital rights, community-building, and language technology. I am currently a board member at Global Voices and a 2017-batch National Geographic Explorer. Earlier, I built an ecosystem of 200 justice social entrepreneurs at Ashoka, and expanded Internet Society's 40K-member Asia-Pacific community, Mozilla's Asia community and over 25 South Asian Wikipedia communities. I now consult and advise organizations, collectives and teams on strategy, fundraising, grantmaking an community-building. My expertise are in open knowledge (Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia projects), open source, standards and licenses, digital and human rights, and community-based data, film and media.

See how I can help you or email to discuss your specific needs.
