And this is only the beginning.

Change the conversation. Challenge the norm. Be an ally.

Our work on consent, gender and male allyship is about creating spaces where respect isn't simply an ideal - it's the standard.

A healthier community begins with awareness.

Our Health & Awareness Project is about creating conversations, building understanding and encouraging action around issues that shape everyday lives.
Because meaningful change starts when people are informed, heard and empowered.

Nepal needs our attention. 🇳🇵

As devastating floods and landslides continue to impact communities, the need for verified information, humanitarian support and collective action remains urgent.

We stand in solidarity with everyone affected.

Some initiatives deserve recognition not just for what they build, but for the questions they have the courage to ask.

I am deeply proud of my niece, Aditi Agarwal and her team at @GSCNewDelhi for the Accessible Clean Air Initiative.

What began with a table fan, a HEPA filter and a few hair ties has evolved into an affordable, modular air purifier designed to make clean indoor air more accessible.

What makes it truly meaningful is its purpose: combining affordable innovation with livelihood opportunities for women through Self-Help Groups, who are being trained to assemble the units locally.

The initiative has now received the @wef @GlobalShapers Community Innovation Prize 2026.

As @DeccanHerald puts it, “the innovation lies in the purifier’s design and in reducing material and manufacturing costs.” I believe that is what makes this initiative particularly noteworthy, addressing a real need through thoughtful and affordable design.

Given the recurring air-pollution crisis Delhi faces every year, this could be an affordable solution for consideration by the @DelhiGovDigital and Hon’ble Chief Minister @gupta_rekha ji (@CMODelhi), especially for low-income communities, public institutions and spaces where access to effective air purification can make a meaningful difference.

The opportunity ahead is to take this promising idea towards a scalable, community-led model.

Consent isn't the absence of a "No" - it's the presence of a clear, enthusiastic "Yes." Silence, hesitation, or "I don't know" are not consent.
We talk about consent in our new podcast: https://t.co/5ZpG8XBV9O
