Subhadra Devi

Project Manager, Education and Public Engagement

I worked in the IT industry for 13 years before I quit and joined Teach for India and taught in a low income school in Pune for 2 years. I went back to the corporate world for a further 3 years. When the urge to travel became overwhelming I left the industry again. After that I spent my time traveling extensively and pursuing other hobbies. While traveling in Arunachal Pradesh in 2014 I accidentally ended up in Eaglenest Sanctuary and there started my journey into birding. It took another 2 years for the birding and bird photography bug to bite me hard. I was on frenzied travels after that, through a lot of birding hotspots in India, as birding gave me a high as nothing else had given me so far. I love introducing young ones (and not so young ones also) to birding and nature, and through that into caring for the environment. From April 2019 to April 2022, I worked with the EPE programme, recruiting the team, setting up processes and generally being a catalyst in the programme. For my second stint, I will be helping in coordinating the efforts towards publishing the second edition of the State of India's Birds report. Email: subhadra@ncf-india.org
