Founder Profile
Deepa works at the intersection of capital, sustainability, and community—building ecosystems grounded in equity and designed for lasting impact.
As Director at EcoHQ, she drives the platform’s work at the intersection of climate, sustainability, innovation, and strategy — helping startups, organisations, and funds navigate industry transitions through insights, advisory, and ecosystem collaboration.
She also advises and consults for funds, quasi-government bodies, venture studios, non-profits, and startups. Her work spans climate-tech, sustainability-tech, emerging tech, international education, and the global creative economy. She specialises in business strategy, thought leadership, partnerships, market intelligence, and ecosystem enablement.
Deepa has completed global fellowships in climate, sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and startup consulting, bringing a multidisciplinary lens to every role I take on. Her background in psychology, social work, HR, and communications adds depth to my approach to inclusive innovation.
Her work has spanned disability rights, mental health, public health, child rights, substance dependence, waste management, and community development—reflecting a lifelong commitment to equity and intersectional change.
She has been featured in Pushstart, The Good Loop, Good Market and Professional Failures and is also a Catalyst2030 member and a mentor at #OpenDoorClimate. She is also a certified GreenSignature™ DEI Advocate.
Check out her journey as a social worker that led her to the Sustainability industry and current experiences that shape her choices.
Her approach is grounded in systems thinking. I support founders, communities, and movements that are rewriting how capital flows, impact solutions scale, and social progress is sustained.
