Another mess by @airindia and @Paytm. In February 2025 I was DENIED BOARDING and Air India marked me as NO SHOW. Paytm is making me shuttle between them and AirIndia FOR MY REFUND FOR 5 MONTHS. Complained at @jagograhakjago but my complaint was shut down by @Paytm. NO SUPPORT.
We will soon be submitting a research manuscript on the soil carbon account of the Banni grasslands in India, Asia's largest tropical grassland.
Any early-career researcher willing to review this manuscript?
Please let me know and I will suggest your name during submission.
📢 New Paper Alert
In this article, I and @maybeEcosystems discussed the key learnings from global approaches in designing carbon markets to build four cohesive design principles tailored for the development of a forest carbon market-based mechanism. Link below!

The expansion of trade has created global supply chains, linking consumers to distant impacts-carbon emissions, biodiversity loss, freshwater depletion, soil degradation & labour-rights issues.

Four dimensions make mitigating environmental impacts in agricultural commodity value chains difficult to achieve in practice. But they also present opportunities. There are ways through which concerted and coordinated action can have a positive impact on commodity value chains.
We are now hiring for a part-time and short-term Researcher under this project!
If you work on climate adaptation and are based in Bangalore over the next few months, please apply!

We will aim to come up with a Ward-level heatwave action plan for a ward in North Bangalore.
Very excited to work on something outside my comfort zone and we hope to do justice to it.
I am looking for options and experiences to go back and forth from Europe to India without #flying. Please contact me if you can help! @StayGroundedNet@maybeEcosystems
Twitter hive mind: Me and a couple of collaborators have done some cool work on analysing paths to sustainability in agricultural commodity production in India.
We want to publish our work as a series of 5-8 popular science articles.
Which outlets can support such an idea?
Who is going to @theATBC Conference in Coimbatore this year?
@AnushkaRege and me are organising a symposium on 'Agricultural commodity landscapes in the tropics: Towards solving a multi-dimensional sustainability challenge for the future'.
Come submit an abstract!

Got shortlisted for a grant, which is now paying us a sizeable amount to develop our idea into a full proposal for submission. I wish more funders did this - writing proposals is not 'free' work.
Anyone has a copy of this book?
‘Volume Equations for Forests of India, Nepal and Bhutan’ by Forest Survey of India, 1996.
Never had a harder time finding a book, and I would be very very thankful.

A wonderful study came out this week in Nature Climate Change on the future of carbon stocks in tropical ecosystems. I was delighted to be one of the reviewers (I learnt a lot!) and have been quoted in this summary!
