RISHIKA GAUR

Hi!

I’m a public policy professional, writer, and visual storyteller — driven by a lifelong commitment to public service and systems-level change.

From engineering and corporate social responsibility at Infosys to nearly cracking India’s most competitive civil service exam, my journey has taken many shapes. It’s led me through policy schools, grassroots work, digital transformation projects with governments and consulting with a Big 4— all in pursuit of impact that’s meaningful, measurable, and human-centered.

Now based in the U.S., I continue to work at the intersection of governance, consulting, innovation, and global development. When I’m not writing policy briefs and articles, I’m behind a camera lens, discovering new landscapes, or deep in a great movie.

This site is where I share my policy work, photography, and the moments in between.
