As a wife and mum to constantly-hungry three boys, I had no option but to endlessly test and prepare tasty food substitutes with proven & potent ingredients. ‘IYURVED’ is my attempt to provide nutrition through food. The Science of Nutrition suggests consuming real food for maximum health benefits. No tonics or syrups can do long-term justice to the body requirements. Consuming food made with carefully selected ingredients, in the right combination and ratio will go a long way in not only keeping us healthy but also disease-free.

Education is a high priority area of work for both UK and India Governments. Collaboration on education was a key theme in the 2010 UK-India Education Forum. My work on education requires to develop network of key actors in education sector and lead on education activities in India. This includes identifying business/ development opportunities for UK govt/players in primary/secondary/higher education and skills in alignment with that of MHRD.

India School Fund (ISF) is an innovative nonprofit founded in 2005 by Harvard Business School (HBS) students to ensure effective delivery of education in poor rural areas of India, starting in a state where four million children do not attend school, and where more than 50% of kids who complete primary level still cannot read and count. ISF creates talent around clusters of schools tied to the local culture and economy. Students will not only acquire basic literacy and life skills but also develop an entrepreneurial mindset early in their development. The objective is to see all children evolve into empowered citizens, entrepreneurs, employees or graduates of higher education, thereby moving forward on the ladder of development.
