About

Sakhi supports strategic partnerships at AVPN that align philanthropic capital with scalable solutions across Asia’s impact ecosystem. She brings over four years of experience in mobilising resources, crafting growth strategies, and building high-impact partnerships for non-profits and social enterprises. 

Before joining AVPN, Sakhi held leadership roles at a health-tech start-up and a prominent child rights NGO, where she led fundraising, donor and investor relations, legal compliance, and financial planning. She mobilised substantial capital from corporate CSR arms, private foundations, and HNIs to advance grassroots initiatives in healthcare, education, child rights, and women’s empowerment. 

Her experience in policy brings a systems-thinking lens to strategy and partnerships, shaped by work with UNICEF and state governments on SDG localisation and outcome-based planning. Sakhi holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences and a Master’s in Development Studies from Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
