Hi, I'm Gayathri.

I am on a mission to find and amplify simple, powerful ways to make our places healthier for people and the planet.

In short, I focus on the “S” in ESG.

A Little About Me

  • Advisory Boards

    I'm honored to serve on the advisory boards of the International Living Future Institute and USGBC CA, contributing to groundbreaking work in sustainable building practices. Additionally, my role with Smart Cables, a UN-sponsored task force, allows me to address climate change's impacts on ocean climates.

  • Professional Philosophy

    At the core of my work is a belief that profit and purpose are not mutually exclusive. I strive to bridge these worlds, demonstrating that ethical, sustainable practices are not just good for the planet and society, but also for business.

  • Awards & Recognition

    My commitment to sustainability and innovation has been recognized with a prestigious 40 under 40 award, an EB1 award from USCIS for extraordinary ability, and numerous academic scholarships that fueled my early career.

  • My Personal Journey

    As an Indian, growing up in Dubai, the multicultural environment and fast paced innovative environment of dubai had a huge impact on me.

    My career began over 14 years ago, spanning diverse roles and cultures in Dubai, India, New York, and California. Each step along the way has not just been about professional growth, but about nurturing a vision - a vision where businesses thrive by positively impacting their communities and the environment.

The Flourish Kit Newsletter

After experiencing burnout multiple times in my career, I was determined to create a resource to help others avoid burnout.
