Projects
Marketing & Research Fellow at Saath Charitable Trust
Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
My role involved creating international marketing strategies for the local social enterprise R-Weaves and developing a survey for the local microentrepreneurs to self-assess their market strengths. This experience truly underscored the significance of international social innovation, demonstrating how innovation and entrepreneurship can empower local communities towards self-sufficiency. However, it also brought to light the potential pitfalls of outsider intervention and the importance of being empathetic and culturally conscious partners in social innovation endeavors.
Research Fellow at Co.act Detroit
Detroit, Michigan, U.S.
My role in the Leadership Pipeline Project (LPP), led jointly by Co.act Detroit and Michigan Community Resources (MCR), involved conducting research and interviews to understand and address challenges in the nonprofit leadership sector. Through this experience, I gained insights into the complexities of nonprofit leadership, highlighted the need for a sustainable leadership pipeline, and recognized the dynamic nature of social innovation in achieving lasting social impact.
