About

From Enterprise Technology to Climate Resilience

A deliberate transition driven by purpose — building the digital infrastructure that climate adaptation demands.

I am a Product Leader with 15+ years of experience building enterprise technology and digital products at scale. Today, I apply that same rigour to one of the most consequential challenges of our time: climate resilience in the Himalayan watershed.

My transition to ClimateTech was not accidental — it was a deliberate pivot toward work that matters. The Himalayas are the water towers of Asia, sustaining billions of people downstream. Yet the digital infrastructure needed to monitor, model, and manage these ecosystems remains critically underdeveloped.

I founded the Himalayan Watershed Intelligence Platform to close that gap — combining enterprise-grade product thinking with geospatial intelligence, hydrological science, and climate data to build decision-support systems that actually work in the field.

Professional Journey

15+ Years of Building at Scale

2008 – 2018

Enterprise Product Leadership

Built and scaled digital products across enterprise technology — leading cross-functional teams, managing complex stakeholder ecosystems, and delivering systems that operate at the intersection of data, infrastructure, and user experience.

Enterprise TechProduct StrategyDigital Transformation

2018 – 2022

Digital Product Development

Deepened expertise in data-driven product development — designing systems that translate complex data into actionable insights for enterprise decision-makers. This phase laid the foundation for the geospatial and intelligence-layer work that followed.

ClimateTech Transition

Made a deliberate pivot into ClimateTech, focusing on water security, climate adaptation, and Himalayan watershed resilience. Began integrating geospatial intelligence, hydrological data, and environmental science into scalable digital platforms.

Core Expertise

Where Technology Meets Climate Science

Water Security

Designing digital systems for water resource monitoring, scarcity analysis, and policy support at district and regional scale. Focused on translating hydrological complexity into actionable intelligence.

Himalayan watersheds, river basin hydrology, water stress indicators, district-level monitoring

Climate Adaptation

Building frameworks and tools for climate resilience planning — enabling governments, NGOs, and communities to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to climate-driven water stress.

Resilience frameworks, adaptation planning, climate risk assessment, policy support tools

Geospatial Intelligence

Applying satellite imagery, GIS analysis, and spatial data integration to watershed health monitoring. Translating remote sensing data into decision-ready insights for non-technical stakeholders.

Enterprise Product Leadership

15+ years of experience leading digital product development in complex enterprise environments — from strategy and roadmapping to cross-functional execution and stakeholder management.

Decision-Support Systems

Designing data-driven dashboards and intelligence tools that translate complex environmental and operational data into clear, actionable insights for decision-makers at every level.

Dashboard design, data visualization, intelligence layers, user-centred design for non-technical users

Himalayan Ecosystems

Deep focus on the watershed systems, hydrology, and climate dynamics of the Himalayas — the water towers of Asia — and the digital tools needed to protect and manage them.

What Drives Me

Data as a public good

Climate and water data should be accessible, actionable, and open — not locked in silos. I build systems that democratize environmental intelligence.

Rigour over rhetoric

Climate action requires the same engineering discipline as enterprise systems. I bring product rigour — clear requirements, measurable outcomes, scalable architecture — to every initiative.

Systems thinking

Watersheds are systems. So are organisations. I approach both with the same lens — understanding interdependencies, feedback loops, and leverage points before designing solutions.

Impact at scale

Individual interventions matter, but I am focused on building platforms and frameworks that can scale — from one district to an entire mountain range.

Collaboration

Open to Meaningful Partnerships

I work with climate organisations, research institutions, policy makers, NGOs, and ClimateTech investors who are serious about building scalable solutions for water security and climate adaptation.
