Summary

I have spent nearly a decade working across the gender, policy, skilling and education ecosystem across the South Asia region. I currently work as the Gender Specialist for South Asia at the International Finance Corporation — a member of the World Bank Group – the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. In my current role, I support the mainstreaming of gender solutions to the private sector as part of IFC’s development agenda. My work involves developing and rolling out gender research products and implementing IFC's gender program in South Asia including delivering client engagements on women's employment, value chains, and entrepreneurship, especially in fragile and conflict-affected countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan. Prior to this, I spent 6 years in leadership roles at grassroots and consulting organizations working on education, livelihoods, and gender interventions in 16+ states in India.
