From journalism to zero-waste advocacy, I help you turn kitchen scraps into black gold through hands-on learning and practical science.

It was a proud moment to be featured in Bangalore Mirror as an eco-champion on World Environment Day. My journey started in 2009, and I have been committed to promoting zero-waste systems in my community and beyond ever since.

Here I am at the GreenLitFest at the Bangalore International Centre, surrounded by books and like-minded people. It is always wonderful to be in a space that celebrates literature and sustainability.

The feedback from my workshop participants is incredibly encouraging. It feels great to know that I was able to clear their doubts and make their composting journey easier. This is what 'Composting with Confidence' is all about.

All set for my online composting workshop. I use a variety of materials for my demonstrations, including kitchen scraps, dry leaves, cocopeat, and my Excelerator compost culture, to give participants a real, hands-on feel for the process.

On a mission to Akshayakalpa in Tiptur. I am conducting an experiment to convert their dairy rejects into compost using my Excelerator culture. Dairy is tough to break down, but I am confident in the science and the well-trained staff.

About My Journey & Workshops

I didn't start as a composting expert—I started as a journalist with a messy compost bin and a lot of questions. My workshops aren't just theory; they are 'compost clinics' where we troubleshoot your specific problems, like odor control or getting that perfect C:N ratio, so you can stop guessing and start composting with confidence.
