Social Entreprenurship

I founded Myna Mahila Foundation, a research-driven social enterprise with the mission to increase women's agency and decision-making power to make them more confident, financially independent and healthy.  It has a reach of 1.5 million women in India. I also co-founded Myna Research, a data collection arm that manages field experiments on women's issues in urban slums in India.  We are also currently developing Rani Work, an employment platform for women in India to work on digital jobs on their smartphones.

Myna Health

Founded in 2015, Myna has a reach of more than 1.5 million women and has a team of 70+ people. Myna continues to transform lives of women at the doorstep, through digital health interventions through Myna Mobile, mobile vans, clinics and local slum-based centers. Myna is launching a new LLM-based chatbot for women's sexual and reproductive health queries, Myna Bolo.

Myna Research

Myna Research is a data collection unit which conducts in-person (or phone) household surveys. It has listed 40,000+  households across Mumbai slums, surveyed more than 5,000 households, mapped 20 areas. It runs field experiments in India and is based out of Mumbai. 

Rani Work

Rani is the future of work for women and girls through digital jobs. Rani Work was developed as part of my research on creating labor markets suitable for married women in social norm constrained settings. Currently, it is upskilling women into more complex health tasks to provide longer-term jobs.
