Manasi (she/her) is an aspiring public policy expert and a passionate crusader for mental health and gender rights. Well-versed in seven languages, she has won national and international accolades in olympiads, diplomatic confluences and research conventions. She has also proved her mettle as a talented young professional with a niche expertise in content, media communications and community building through her engagements with content agencies and early-stage startups. Her artistic liberation comes through poetry – her anthology ‘Taboos and Indiscretions’ is her labour of love. She also is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer and performer.
Post YIF, she wishes to pave her path towards her goal by pursuing a Masters in Public Policy and a subsequent doctoral degree in the interdisciplinary domain. The fellowship is a year-long tryst with learning and unlearning.
