Sankalita is an entrepreneur in the space of waste and sustainability. She says “Becoming a parent is what imbued me with the pluck and the courage to do something about the anxiety for my child’s future.” Since 2020, she has been focusing on creating awareness and behavior change, encouraging the safe disposal of post-consumed plastics. She has designed and delivered curriculum-based lessons in waste and climate change to students across all grades; through the use of storytelling, role-playing, gamification, quizzes, and case studies, her sessions maximize engagement of children– and empower them to take action. Big ideas, shifting blocks in mindsets, changing behaviors, and bringing a positive change in society – these are some of the drivers for her.
