I work in agri-food innovation and sustainability—while building ideas and projects in AI and trading.
This website brings together my professional experience, selected projects, and publications, alongside new ideas and contributions I am developing across emerging domains.
I work on challenges across agri-food systems, sustainability, and development, with a focus on innovation, partnerships, and real-world implementation. In my current role at the Singapore Agri-Food Innovation Lab (SAIL) at Nanyang Technological University, I help drive co-innovation in the agri-food sector—seeding partnerships between corporates, startups, and researchers. This builds on earlier work across the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN), and public-sector initiatives in India.
