As part of a Design Thinking course, I tackled the complex challenge of female literacy and employment in India, a problem I felt strongly about.
Through research, I discovered that existing programs follow a linear, one-size-fits-all approach that fails to address critical socio-cultural barriers and delivers slow results.
I designed a comprehensive multi-platform system that reaches females across all age groups—from children to adults, using mobile apps, radio, community centres, and physical workshops to create multiple points for engagement.
This integrated approach allows for flexible, culturally-sensitive implementation that can adapt to diverse contexts while accelerating impact and addressing the systemic barriers that traditional programs overlook.

A few weeks ago, I shut my laptop and stepped onto the balcony, hoping the night air would offer relief. But the city didn’t sleep. It never did. Horns. Sirens. Yelling. Construction. Even my favourite playlists just added to the noise.
So, I researched a bit. I wasn’t seeking silence, I was seeking calm. I read about binaural beats, theta waves, and solfeggio tones. I even found apps. But, they all seemed confusing, exhaustive, or like to-do lists wrapped in “self-care.”
So, I decided to build one myself. Not an app that throws a lot at you, but one based on the principles of simplicity and minimalism. No noise, no clutter, just carefully crafted soundscapes rooted in science and stillness.
I wanted to build it because I couldn’t find an answer. I’m sharing it because I know I’m not alone.
