Koshika's experience as a young woman engaging with government departments on security issues and supporting survivors of gender-based violence at the NGO Majlis greatly shaped her understanding of rights, power and equity.

This motivated Koshika to start a non-profit organisation to structurally address these issues through advocacy and legal interventions. Her non-profit's work so far has impacted 12,000 women and girls in rural India and created local policy changes around access to water, pension rights and healthcare services.

In her recent role with Peace First, Koshika applied these experiences in leading young change-makers from Asia and Oceania to create similar social change within their communities.

Koshika is a 2017 Resolution Project Fellow and a 2020 +1 Global Fund Awardee, Roddenberry Foundation. She holds a dual Bachelor in Law and Legal Sciences degree from University of Mumbai and an LLM from SOAS, University of London. At Oxford, Koshika looks forward to complimenting her learning with a policy lens.
