Sagarika, armed with a doctorate from IIT Delhi in sustainable mobility behaviour, is on a mission to make transportation greener than a kale smoothie. At NEF, she’s the mastermind behind decarbonising India’s roads, rails, and skies, weaving public policy with eco-friendly flair. She uses economics and public policies to steer transport and energy off fossil fuels and onto cleaner, quicker paths.

Yash, a postgraduate from Ambedkar University Delhi, is NEF’s expert on geopolitics and international intrigue. He decodes global power plays like a chess grandmaster, keeping the team ahead of the curve on worldly affairs. His knack for connecting dots between trade wars and diplomatic spats is legendary.

Areeka Mir, having completed her LLM from Amity University, is the team’s go-to for all things legal. She navigates the labyrinth of business laws with the finesse of a courtroom rockstar, ensuring NEF’s policies are as airtight as a pickle jar. Whether it’s drafting contracts or untangling regulatory knots, Areeka has it covered for NEF.

Hemant is the unsung hero who keeps NEF’s chaotic brilliance running like a well-oiled machine. Handling day-to-day operations and administrative wizardry, he ensures the team stays on track (and doesn’t lose their coffee mugs). With a knack for solving logistical puzzles, Hemant’s the guy who makes impossible deadlines possible.
