Why
I am passionate about running, and also making a difference in the community. I want to combine my passion for both, and use this as a platform to raise funds to bring about positive change and make a difference in the lives of people.
Girls Education
My aim is to help raise awareness of the challenges faced by impoverished girls in the slums on Mumbai and assist them monetarily.
My Journey
I am passionate about this cause because I believe that every girl deserves a chance to fulfill her potential and contribute to society. I also believe that adventure is a powerful way to challenge oneself, inspire others, and create positive change in the world.

Empowering girls through education.
My Mission
I grew up as a middle-class girl in Mumbai. It is a city like no other, where extreme wealth and abundance co-exist with extreme poverty and squalor side-by-side. I was very fortunate in having a loving family, and the means and ability, to get a great education. Sadly, a vast proportion of the residents of the city are not afforded the basic right of education.
Girls are disproportionately affected by this. I fervently believe that education is the way to change one’s circumstances for the better. To this end, I have partnered with Sakhi, an organization that has worked tirelessly since 2008 to educate girls living in slums.
My goal is to raise funds to further their impact in this very important field, and to also bring awareness to this cause and all the lives they impact.
