Senior Consultant Green and Sustainable Innovations – India Office
How did you end up at Catalyze and what do you do?
I have always been deeply passionate about sustainability and inclusivity, believing that businesses built on sustainable models not only benefit the environment but also foster social fairness. This conviction led me to pursue a background in agricultural sciences, which laid the foundation for my journey into management consulting and academia. However, my true interest has always been in helping small, inclusive businesses secure funding to scale their innovations. Before joining Catalyze, I had the opportunity to support companies in India and Africa with fundraising, driving impactful projects forward.
Can you describe how you make an impact for your clients in your daily work?
At Catalyze, I found a perfect platform to channel my passion for sustainability. I specialize in securing funding for innovative projects, particularly in clean energy, agriculture, food, and biobased technologies. Over the past four years, I have helped clients secure €30 million in funding, focusing on grants like Eurostars, EIC Accelerators, Horizon Europe, EU LIFE and more recently, EIT Food’s Impact Funding Framework. One of my proudest achievements was contributing to Europe’s top-ranked Eurostars project in sustainable heating.
Can you describe what you like about your team, your colleagues, the collaboration within and the culture of Catalyze?
What I love most about working at Catalyze is the collaborative culture. Despite being based remotely in India, I feel constantly supported and motivated by my friendly and helpful colleagues. The work environment here is inclusive and empowering, with a strong focus on working together to drive innovation. Catalyze’s employer-friendly culture makes it a pleasure to contribute to projects that make a real impact.
What would you like to say to your future colleagues?
To anyone considering joining Catalyze, I would encourage you to explore the opportunities here if you’re passionate about making a positive impact on the planet and society. Catalyze offers a dynamic platform for those who want to be part of the innovation sector and make a lasting difference.
