He recounts how capturing rainwater and regenerating landscapes can break the cycle of poverty, empower women, and create climate-resilient agriculture. With stories of communities rising from despair to prosperity, he explains why water is not just a resource but the foundation of life, livelihood, and dignity and how collective action can secure our future against the growing challenges of climate change.

He co-founded the Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR) and other non-profits, impacting 8.4 million people across India, regenerating landscapes, promoting climate-responsive agriculture, and improving livelihoods. He has led large-scale programs like the Indo-German Watershed Development Program, contributed to national adaptation funds, and advised government policy.
