With a background across nonprofit development, medical research, and finance, Sunrit is focused on building scalable private-sector answers to development challenges. His roots trace back to the paddy fields of rural West Bengal, where he has led education, water-access, and human-services projects. His aim with Nirvana Carbon is to bridge talent, capital, and expertise between the West and the global south.
