My Journey at SVP
Aug 2019
Being one of the founding members of SVP India Ahmedabad Chapter, it has been a journey to see it evolve to what it is today. It was an experience working with our first NGO Kaarigar Clinic that saw the success that it did and subsequently with many others who are solving for problems that will help move the needle in our communities. In my own personal capacity, I am working with many NGOs and Social Purpose organizations but SVP provides me a space to really get involved and mentor hands on small/mid-sized organizations that have the potential to scale and make big impact.
