Qube is a social enterprise whose mission is to change the world, one brick at a time (www.plastiqube.com). The company is currently developing construction bricks made out of plastic waste called "Plastiqube", thus addressing the issue of plastic waste disposal and also empowering the workers subjected to abysmal working condition in the traditional burnt-clay brick sector in India. Our vision is to set up a sustainable, profitable and eco-friendly social enterprise aimed at protecting the environment from plastic pollution and changing the way the world thinks about building materials and recycling of plastic waste. 

I am a final year undergrad majoring in Construction Engineering at Jadavpur University. I have been awarded the prestigious Yunus & Youth Fellowship and accepted as a Change Maker at the Clinton Global Initiative University at University of Chicago. I was among one of the few entrepreneurs to be invited at the Young Social Entrepreneur Workshop organized by Singapore International Foundation. In the professional arena, I have interned at Hilti, in both the sales and manufacturing division and received a pre-placement offer for my exemplary contributions. I am currently managing Qube, a social enterprise focused on fighting climate change and community empowerment.
