About me

I find motivation in setting knowledge free by building autonomous and proud communities that take ownership in fulfilling this mission. I enjoy watching world cinema and learn new languages through them.

My work

I serve as Regional Manager, Strategic Partnerships for Asia and the Eastern European region at The Wikimedia Foundation, based out of Doha, Qatar. I strive to build strategic partnerships to expand awareness, reach, and usage of Wikimedia projects in the region, particularly in India.

Before joining WMF, I served as Program Director for Wikimedia India. My educational background includes a Master’s degree in Science from the Technical University of Munich.
