04 — Causes I support

The work I’d rather be remembered for.

Two things shaped how I show up in the world: an education that opened doors my parents couldn’t, and a support system that kept me standing when work didn’t.

So I give time, money and energy to organisations doing the unglamorous work in those two areas — in India and the UAE. If any of this resonates, you’re welcome to add to it.

Education

Underprivileged children.

Foundational literacy, school access and long-form mentorship for kids from low-income families — across India and the UAE.

Mental health

Awareness & access.

Funding initiatives that make therapy and crisis support accessible regardless of who’s paying — and that chip away at the silence around mental health in our region.
