Meet the Future Green Leaders of the year award finalists

I am a passionate sustainability consultant with a deep love for architecture and the built environment. Coming from the vibrant subcontinent of India, I was raised with values that align perfectly with today’s concepts of circular economy, low-carbon living, and resource management. My career began as an architect, where I immersed myself in sustainable design techniques. From passive design principles to nature-based materials, I crafted elegant solutions that harmonized with the environment. Yet, my desire for impact pushed me further and brought me to Australia, where I specialised in sustainable design and high-performance façades. As a sustainability consultant at ADP Consulting, I now contribute to shaping the future of our built spaces. Every day, I step into a world where creativity meets practicality through integrated building services and innovative design. My advocacy extends beyond blueprints and structures, and I believe that the best buildings emerge when they coexist harmoniously with nature, rather than standing apart from it.
