About me

I am a member of the Board of the South Asia Collective at Darwaza, a cultural innovation initiative dedicated to creating Europe’s first immersive South Asian art and heritage spaces. In this role, I help shape the project’s strategic direction, international partnerships, and long-term cultural vision.

Alongside this, I serve as a Strategic Advisor at Pragma Technologies, where I support the company’s growth in digital transformation, IT strategy, and global collaboration.

Based in Lucerne, I work at the intersection of culture, technology, and community-building. My mission is to strengthen South Asian representation in Europe by connecting artists, curators, embassies, and cultural institutions with new audiences and innovative exhibition formats.

Darwaza (2025–2027) is currently in its pre-launch phase, focused on building networks, securing political and institutional support, and curating a multidimensional program celebrating the diversity of South Asian art and identity.

At the Asia Summit Berlin, I aim to connect with leaders, innovators, and cultural partners who share the vision of elevating Asian cultural narratives on a global stage.
