I am an epidemiologist, freelance global public health specialist, social entrepreneur, musician and innovator. I completed my MBBS & MD in preventive & social medicine and the doctor of public health (DrPH) in infectious disease epidemiology. I have worked in tuberculosis (TB) & infectious disease research, and conducted program audits for TB, malaria, and HIV/AIDS in several countries. Currently, I am involved in establishing a multi-faceted social enterprise in Maharashtra. I provide career guidance, mentoring, and counselling to school and college students. I am researching the scientific basis of ancient Hindustani Classical Music traditions, including the traditional music instruments of India, and the connections between music, health, and spiritual well-being.
