Manasvi is currently pursuing a graduate degree in social justice and interpersonal dynamics at San Diego State University. Creating socially responsible institutions and communities under the context of capitalism has always been a cornerstone of their efforts.

Prior to this, Manasvi spent nearly a decade working as a management consultant in corporate America, implementing environmental, social and governance best practices and improving strategy and operations at several Fortune 500 companies. They've collaborated with the World Economic Forum to assess the sustainability of global supply chains. They've partnered with The Good Food Institute to explore alternatives to industrial animal farming. They've saved the planet from microplastics and toe-socks (this last one is meant to be a joke. ha-ha).

Manasvi grew up in Mumbai, India, where they matriculated at St. Xavier's College, and then moved to New York City to study Business, Economics and Psychology at NYU’s Leonard N. Stern School of Business. They currently live in Southern California with their two dogs and a community of friends, and spend any spare dregs of time either reading books, drinking decaf chai or writing for The Chewed Pencil.
