Electric mobility and sustainability innovation (Air Pollution and Clean Mobility)
His ecosystem can play a strategic role in shaping future-ready civic solutions for Gurugram.
Collaboration with GBTG

Partnering on women’s financial literacy and safety initiatives, particularly in industrial and peri-urban zones of Gurugram
Collaborating on clean mobility education, EV readiness, or public awareness under GBTG’s Air Pollution vertical
Providing knowledge exchange and strategic input for infrastructure innovation, especially in traffic planning and waterlogging-prone industrial sectors
