## About Sharing Knowledge: Lectures, Panels & Keynotes

My speaking engagements focus on the bridge between academic theory and the ground-level work of architectural practice. I do not believe in polished, theoretical lectures that ignore the daily struggles of conservation. Instead, I share the practical, often difficult realities of restoring heritage buildings in Indian cities, from navigating material decay to managing community expectations.

Why focus on the messy side of architecture? Because that is where the real learning happens. When I speak at universities or industry forums, I prioritize the process over abstract concepts. Whether we are discussing adaptive reuse, the role of women in the construction industry, or the necessity of placemaking, my goal is to provide actionable insights that architects, students, and property owners can actually use.

My approach to knowledge sharing is shaped by the Jugaadopolis initiative, which treats urban regeneration as a collaborative act. I speak often on how we can reuse existing structures rather than demolishing them, an approach that is both sustainable and culturally vital. You will find my talks centered on three core themes:

* Heritage Conservation: How we assess old buildings, identify original materials like lime and brick, and plan for their long-term survival.
* Urban Regeneration: Moving beyond design to consider the community’s role in public spaces.
* Professional Practice: The honest, behind-the-scenes look at running an architecture studio in India, including the challenges of starting an independent firm.

If you are organizing a conference or a university panel, I am interested in conversations that challenge the status quo. I am not looking to present polished portfolios, but rather to facilitate a genuine exchange of ideas on the future of our built environment.
