Hi! I am a passionate sustainability engineer driven to make a meaningful impact through my work. Outside of my profession, I train in various martial arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I love experiencing diverse cultures, exploring new cuisines, and continuously seeking opportunities to learn. I believe in challenging myself in all aspects of life, as it’s the only way to grow and realize my full potential.
What inspired you to pursue a career in sustainable engineering?
Growing up in India, I was raised in a culture that values and respects nature, but I also saw the environmental impact of industrialization up close. Experiencing the effects of climate change personally made me realize that I wanted to direct my life towards solving this issue and creating a more sustainable future.
What motivates you and gives you energy?
My main drive in life is my curiosity and the excitement of learning and excelling in new things. Every time I overcome a challenge, it fuels me with more energy to take on bigger ones, and this continuous cycle is what truly drives me.
I have been fortunate to work as a Procurement Sustainability-Coordinator at a company in the automotive industry, where I got the opportunity to work on exciting projects and cross functional with the procurement department, R&D, and the core sustainability team.
My role exposed me to a range of topics, but the ones that I enjoyed the most were conducting an environmental impact assessment of a NdFeB magnet used in an e-motor to identify hotspots and provide recommendations on improving due diligence, as well as exploring the complexities of a sustainable supply chain.
My passion for sustainability extends into my personal life, where I focus on reducing my environmental impact through sustainable travel, mindful consumption, and exploring eco-friendly alternatives. My curiosity drives me to learn and apply sustainable practices both personally and professionally.
Additionally, my commitment to excel at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, reflects my approach to product development—constantly pushing myself to overcome challenges and improve.
