I am a Jungian scholar and coach based in Bangalore, India. My first career was in development sector in research, training and policy- building. I worked with bilateral agencies for over a decade, on poverty and human development issues, in rural and urban communities of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh. I specialized in gender and environmental concerns, field research and participatory training tools. I trained later in Tavistock Group Relations approach in the U.K.

I transitioned into analytical psychology and Jungian Studies with the publication of my book ‘Jung in India’ in 2013. ‘Jung in India’ is based on original archival research on Jung’s history with India, spanning several decades of the twentieth century. It documents an important transcultural history, with wide implications for post-Jungian studies. Currently, I am working on a Jungian interpretation of the Indian epic, The Ramayana, at the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, UK.

I am also an accredited Jungian coach, with a practice in Bangalore. I am a member of the International Association of Jungian Coaches and Consultants (IAJCC). I am also a member of the International Association of Jungian Studies (IAJS), and an editorial committee member of the International Journal of Jungian Studies, (IJJS). I have been an invited jury member of the IAJS Book Awards. My second book, ‘Animus, Psyche and Culture – A Jungian Revision’ was released in 2023. 

My interests in deep ecology and environment have led me to study lake restoration initiatives in Bangalore. I am a natural habitat observer and member of the global portal on E-Birds. I am trained in Hatha Yoga, and am an advocate of natural foods for mind and body healing.
