Founder Jay speaking to students during a reflective session on impact and purpose

I love asking questions about how we live, what we value, and how design can make everyday life better. My journey began in architecture, but I’ve always been more interested in people than buildings. I believe the best ideas come when we slow down, listen deeply, and learn from each other. At Karyashalla, I’m here to support your process to help you connect the dots between your vision and the communities you want to work with. For me, mentoring isn’t about giving answers; it’s about walking together and discovering new paths.
