What I specialize in

I specialize in pioneering sustainable and climate-resilient water management systems that unite Artificial Intelligence, policy innovation, and nature-based design. As **Co-Developer of the Global Rainwater Management Program (GRMP)**, my work focuses on transforming nations toward long-term water independence. Through **DEVRAM International**, the commercial arm of **Shree Someshwar Education Trust – a UN SDG Partner NGO**, and in collaboration with the **Global Water Partnership (GWP)**, I advise governments and PSUs on ESG-driven infrastructure and integrated water governance. My mission is to advance the vision of water-secure, low-carbon, and **non-oil-based economies**—empowering communities and nations to thrive sustainably in the era of climate change.

Previous projects

My professional journey includes leading and advising projects in rainwater management, groundwater recharge, and climate-resilient infrastructure across India and internationally. I have co-led the Global Rainwater Management Program (GRMP) pilots in Surat District, Gujarat, and Silvassa (UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli), achieving measurable aquifer revival and community water security. Internationally, I have served as a consultant to government and institutional programs in Indonesia, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia, supporting sustainable water planning and policy integration. My portfolio includes advisory roles for PSUs, Smart City Missions, and ESG-aligned initiatives, advancing UN SDG goals and promoting global models of long-term water self-reliance.

How can I help you

I help governments, public institutions, and private enterprises design AI-enabled water and climate resilience strategies that not only secure sustainability but also deliver measurable economic returns. Through the Global Rainwater Management Program (GRMP), I focus on reducing the per-litre cost of water, optimizing energy use, and converting conservation into financial advantage. By aligning ESG frameworks with practical Return on Investment (ROI) models, I demonstrate how sustainability can become a profitable business ecosystem. My approach integrates policy, infrastructure, and innovation, empowering clients to cut costs, generate new revenue streams, and attract green investments—proving that environmental stewardship and profitability can advance together.
