She employs her expertise spanning across marketing, operations, business management & strategy, to build sustainable business models in the performing arts and artisan communities. She has worked with an eclectic clientele of artists and arts organisations across the globe in strategic and tactical roles. She dons multiple hats with her entrepreneurial ventures, House of Tuhil, a traditional handloom start-up and Courtyard Tours, a culture travel company.
