I took a sabbatical from the corporate space to help set up a social enterprise with my spouse. The focus of
this enterprise is to help build strong community relationships among the urban youth and address social
evils that plague the youth of today. We facilitate several mentoring and counselling relationships towards
empowering the youth and engage with corporates to initiate social change.
Towards the end of 2013, I had the opportunity to work as a consultant with an NGO, Oasis India, which
works to empower marginalized and excluded communities in society. Oasis works in communities in
Mumbai, Chennai and India and has close to 100 employees spread across the country. Oasis is currently in

2014.

responsibility to deliver the Finance objectives ensuring smooth operation of Finance functions, ensuring
that Oasis India is statutorily compliant, providing leadership to the overall Finance strategy and the vision of

goodwill Oasis India enjoys within the country, having successfully operated in communities across India for
more than 18 years.
