This is Abhilasha Rajan
Here is a glimpse of my journey and what drives me.
My passion lies in nurturing a deep connection between humans and nature. I co-founded the Ameyaatma Charitable Foundation (ACF), a non-profit organisation, with the commitment to work for a sustainable and compassionate society.
At ACF, our work encompasses transformative education in rural areas, nurturing women leaders, preserving culture. Being a mother has also deepened my love and sense of wonder for nature. I want future generations to experience the joy and beauty of our planet, so environmental conservation is a big part of my vision. Empowering women is a cause that’s close to my heart. We are building a supportive network for women, helping them establish their own path in the professional world.
One of my greatest joys is storytelling. It all started when I wanted to create magical moments for my daughter. I learned the art of storytelling and began crafting tales that explore the beautiful connections between life and nature. It’s incredible how stories can ignite a child’s curiosity and imagination. I founded Chaitanya Conscious World, a firm dedicated to helping us make our lifestyle choices conscious and sustainable. Our inspiration comes from being parents ourselves and the collective wisdom of like-minded parents who are seeking conscious and sustainable living.
In my previous not-so-distant life, I have worked with IFMR, IL&FS Clusters, MSSRF and KPMG as a researcher and management consultant for close to two decades. From developing a psychometric tool to identify rural entrepreneur’s traits, researching access to finance for the missing middle in the MSME sector, , innovating public private financing models of agri value chains mentoring farmers producers organisations, and designing and managing skilling programme; I have had quite an adventure. These roles allowed me to grow, learn and bring a problem-solving mindset for complex issues across different sectors.
Currently, I reside in Delhi with my wonderful family of three, surrounded by plenty of soul-nurturing plants and books in our little garden. I love to meditate with pen and paper, but now I need to digitize them for posterity, which led to the creation of my website, arajan.in. Balancing my professional endeavors, nurturing my family, and observing the world with my daughter brings me immense joy.
Learning and working at different places and different organisation.
I am exploring the world of sky, time, mind, trees, birds, rivers, rocks, and everything that fascinates me about our existence.
