Corporate Preparedness and Engagement Lead, Bayer Crop Science

Expert Bio

I currently lead Corporate Preparedness and Engagement across the Asia Pacific region, which includes engaging in conversations on the challenges & opportunities to enable farmers to increase food, feed, & fiber production to meet Asia’s rising consumer needs amidst stagnant or diminishing natural resources and a changing climate, and to improve their lives. To accomplish this I have walked the fields with farmers across India, the US, and recently in Indonesia listening to them share their experiences, crop challenges, & aspirations.

I am really excited to be a Co-Founder of Q Theatre Productions (QTP), and Thespo (India’s premier youth theatre festival now in its 15th year), & also passionate about football & percussion.

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Communications, and Bachelors of Arts Degree in English Literature – both from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai University, India.
