About Abhigya Ambastha
As a passionate and driven Public Policy professional, I bring a unique blend of academic insight and hands-on experience at the intersection of urban governance, climate action, and sustainable development. Through my work with esteemed institutions like Praja Foundation, GMDA, and MCG, I have led transformative capacity-building programs, engaged diverse stakeholders, and contributed to data-informed policy implementation on the ground. My expertise spans across qualitative and quantitative research, policy analysis, environmental monitoring, programme design, and strategic communication. I’ve actively contributed to initiatives addressing pressing issues such as climate resilience, women’s safety, urban sustainability, and inclusive education. Each experience has deepened my ability to translate complex policy challenges into actionable, impactful solutions. Skilled in fostering cross-sector collaboration and navigating the public policy ecosystem, I am committed to enabling evidence-based governance that is inclusive, accountable, and future-ready. With a firm grounding in research and a vision for long-term systemic change, I aim to continue working at the confluence of policy, people, and purpose.
