Introduction Alumni Debate Online: Renewable Energy Past Debates Panelists Contact

With the oikos history reaching back more than 25 years, there is a vast group of alumni who have shaped our organization during the last two decades. The diversity among them is significant – ranging from former oikos members who have just graduated and started their first job to alumni who have more than two decades of working experience in business, politics, NGO and academia. And yet, their common history and interest in sustainability provides a bond that lasts long beyond their university years.

Alumni Debates is a platform to bring these generations together to discuss topics that they are passionate about. If you are interested to bring this event to your city, please contact us at alumni@oikos-international.org.

Currently I am involved with the Rotaract as Secretary General, Carboun, as UAE Ambassador, ISF Education Specialist, UN volunteer on education, Sadhana Forest as UAE representative/Ambassador, etc. I love connecting with people across the world and to travel to new places, trying to understand different cultures and traditions.

Apart from the academics, I love to read (mainly fiction books, the likes of Paulo Coelho, Amitav Ghosh, Arundhati Roy, etc.), adventure activities, etc. I am also very passionate about dancing, and usually find myself tumbling across various international dance forms.
