If you are reading this, we are communicating. A rather underrated human skill, often misused and rarely understood.

Hi, I am Mankiran, I specialize in eccentric communication, experiential learning workshop design and everything strategy. We could connect and talk, the question is, will you listen?

I turn ideas into action: building partnerships, leading communication strategies, digital storytelling, and designing workshops, programs, and experiences that create lasting impact.

From strategy to execution, I work with institutions, organizations, and communities to co-create initiatives that inspire, engage, and drive change.
