Summary
I am passionate about the profound impact of light on human health, performance, and well-being. Through my work experience in the US and in my family business in India, I noticed a lack of awareness about the critical role light plays in our lives, especially in architecture and design. Light can influence mood, circadian rhythms, productivity, and even sustainability, yet many buildings are still designed with generic lighting solutions. This realization inspired my aspiration to become a lighting designer, consultant, and solution provider, advocating for scientifically-backed lighting strategies that enhance both human experience and environmental sustainability.
