Bio

A development practitioner at heart, Pallavi brings a rare combination of deep academic rigor and practical venture experience to the agricultural ecosystem. After earning her PhD in urban sustainability and spending over a decade in academia, she dedicated the next ten years to the startup space—shaping business strategies, product design, and inclusive innovation models. Her career is built on a foundation of diverse collaborations with global multilaterals, incubators, foundations, and grassroots communities.

As a Co-Founder at ThinkAg, Pallavi guides the organisation’s insights and acceleration initiatives, both domestic and global. She applies a multi-disciplinary approach to complex sector challenges, focusing on the practical, on-field adoption of technology, financial integration, and systemic sustainability. For Pallavi, true impact cannot be decoupled from inclusion and scale. Grounded in a people-centric philosophy, she relies on active dialogue and shared learning to build the relationships that drive meaningful, sector-wide change.
