lil more about me

Hi! I'm Tanushka, pictured here with my golden retriever, Scott.

 

Most of my life's work can be categorised into two broad buckets: 

(1) Projects: what I have built  and  (2) Publications: what I have written to help others build 

​

I have always been passionate about increasing access to mental health and justice resources, particularly for adolescents, at scale: whether it was building an 'experience-first' college magazine that acted as a platform for 6000+ students, teachers, alumni and board members to openly talk about their challenges, or launching the largest first-time intercollegiate festival around the same topic. It also reflected in my start-up that connected 30+ CxOs in Mumbai to 1500+ adolescents for no-holds-barred mentorship (sharing guidance on both professional and personal growth opportunities). Finally, at the Centre for Digital Public Infrastructure, it has grown into an ecosystem endeavour to build national infrastructure in this regard through the DPI-CPA (DPI for the Care & Protection of Adolescents) initiative.  

​

I am an ex-student of the JB Petit High School for Girls, graduated in financial markets from Mumbai University, and have grown up under the guidance of the Sri Aurobindo Society - where I continue to volunteer as much as I can. This website is an effort to compile the work I'm most passionate about in one place to help accelerate global efforts in this space.
