She also added, “We are the largest youth generation in the history of time, so while we are the present, we are also the future. As I stand here, opening the Summit of the Future Action Days, I also speak on behalf of many young people around the world, voicing our shared hopes and aspirations.”

From supporting social impact entrepreneurship amongst youth through UNDP’s Youth Co:Lab initiative and UNDP India’s digital healthcare initiatives, she has been at the forefront of driving meaningful change for a better future.
