About Me
Nishit Sangomla has a bachelor’s in chemical engineering from NIT Trichy. He started his career working with Reliance Industries limited as a safety engineer and then shifted to the development sector. Over the last seven years, he has worked extensively with craftspeople from Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Ladakh and Gujarat, through renowned organizations and entrepreneurial ventures.
Currently, he is the Director at Somaiya Kala Vidya, one of the few institutes of education for traditional artisans in Kutch and India. In 2020, he co-founded another organization – Navikarana Trust that works with the communities at the forefront of climate change in the Himalayan region by providing them with access to water and resources.
Nishit strongly believes that the true changemakers for society come from within the communities, External agents of change as such I must just act as a catalyst to positive change. Somaiya KalaVidya’s and Navikarana’s vision and mission align with this thought and form the foundation for building a much better and more inclusive society.
