As class reps of 10 IGCSE, Jaiveer and I led a year-long Kindness Initiative under the High School Student Council. Each week, a student picked a kindness quote, and five peers reflected on how they lived it out. This simple ritual grew into a powerful tradition that brought empathy and connection into our class. We shared our journey at the final school assembly, highlighting how small acts of kindness can create meaningful change.

I had the privilege of contributing to India’s first-ever gym designed exclusively for women with disabilities. Named after the Sanskrit word Shakti, meaning power and feminine strength, the project represents a radical shift in how we think about inclusion, access, and visibility. Spearheaded by Dr. Aiswarya Rao and supported by the Greater Chennai Corporation and World Bank, ShaktiGym is more than a fitness space—it’s a movement. From collaborating with para-athletes to coordinating adaptive equipment and designing inclusive infrastructure, I played a central role in bringing this vision to life. What began as fieldwork in rural Dharmapuri evolved into a bold blueprint for empowerment—where strength is not just physical, but deeply personal and transformative.

Chords of Change is a journey of transformation, blending the power of music with a commitment to uplift others. Here I teach guitar to underprivileged children and this initiative seeks to inspire growth, empowerment, and hope. Each action is a step toward creating a legacy of positive change that resonates far beyond today, giving these children a lifelong skill.

Fundraising for Storead is a mission to empower underrepresented and specially-abled women at Better World Shelter in Chennai. By raising funds for a multi-needle embroidery machine, we aim to elevate their business, Storead, which produces clothing and accessories. This initiative is about fostering independence, enhancing creativity, and enabling these women to thrive by expanding their product line and opportunities.
