Puja uses her experience in consumer research to peel away the people-centric aspects of multi-dimensional nutritional challenges and improve strategy, solutions, and communications at Sight and Life.

Influenced by a childhood spent moving as a family to new places and consumed by the need to give back to the world we take so much from, Puja decided to work in the social impact sector and leverage her curiosity about new people, places, and cultures at Sight and Life. She believes that learning is the easiest way to challenge oneself and works hard at keeping her mind and heart as curious as it was when she was five.
