I’ve interned with organizations such as Roots Foundation, Goonj, Phal Foundation, PETA India, Ashta Hospice & Geriatric Care, and Noor Manzil, where I worked on casework, community outreach, and government grant support. Alongside this, I also do freelancing work in CSR project planning, documentation, and impact assessment.
