#ACTuallyAwesome | Nayonika Jotsinghani Nayonika started as a chartered accountant but soon realised she craved a more interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving. In the classroom, as a Young India Fellow, she realised a passion for behaviour change and wanted to explore it in the social impact space. Seeing rapid innovation in India's startup wave, she was drawn to how technology could transform health outcomes, and wanted to be part of that journey. That’s what led her to ACT, where she now works as Manager, #ACTForHealth, at the intersection of venture philanthropy and healthcare impact. Within health, she’s especially interested in solutions tackling respiratory issues. With rising air pollution affecting daily life, she sees it as an urgent challenge that needs bold solutions. Her biggest hope? A more balanced India—where smaller cities have the infrastructure and opportunities to thrive, easing migration pressure on metros and creating a more equitable quality of life for all. At ACT, she loves how collaboration brings everyone together—across levels and streams of work. Whether brainstorming with leadership or exchanging ideas with peers, everyone is approachable, and fresh perspectives are encouraged. It creates an energising space on the best days and a supportive one on the tough ones, where camaraderie turns challenges into collective problem-solving. #CoFoundersOfSocialChange #ThisIsUs
