Jivika Rajani

Originally from New Delhi, though she has spent most of her life growing up in Dubai, Jivika Rajani is a multipotentialite on a mission to build a better planet. 

A Pomona College graduate with deep and diverse interests, she double majored in Environmental Economics and Media Studies, and has been trained in the Transformative Action methodology by renowned social entrepreneur Dr. Scott Sherman. As an educator and mentor, she continues to help hundreds of students (of all ages!) better identify their passions and lead more purposeful lives.

Jivika is a 2017 recipient of the Napier Award for Creative Leadership and was nominated to the Kravis Leadership Institute’s inaugural class of Innovation Solutions Fellows in May. She holds a BFA in Kathak dance and also serves as a Millennial Advisory Board member for Our Climate. 

Before founding Aspir8, Jivika worked to launch Sunstock, Los Angeles’ first 100% solar powered music and arts festival, and interned at two Oscar nominated and Emmy award winning production companies. Jivika loves working at the intersections of media, marketing, sustainability and social impact, and will continue doing so just as long as she isn’t distracted by her greatest weakness; chocolate chip cookies.

You can keep up with her writing and photography on Medium, Instagram, Twitter, and (occasionally) LinkedIn.
