About Mansi Jasuja:

Mansi’s life is a tapestry woven with unconventional experiences, taking her from practicing architecture in Delhi, India, to becoming a practitioner designing and hosting transformative conversations and processes in Europe, now based in The Hague. Deeply rooted in the principles of social justice, equality, and service (‘sewa’), she embodies the spirit of a heart-centered warrior—a lineage she traces to both her Sikh heritage and her yoga practice.

An environmentalist since childhood, Mansi’s passion for the planet guided her through diverse urban environmental disciplines with organizations like the United Nations, European Union, and CARE-India.

An artist, storyteller, and creative force, Mansi is also a skilled process designer and an international speaker.
