Hi! I am Sonika

I believe everyone is inherently a creative being. It's their unique skills and talents, their mission, what makes them tick, the latent needs they see that no one else does.

I help people take these ideas from zero to one.

What we can shape together?

Defining the problem

What's actually broken, for whom, and why now.

Prototyping

Product, service, community, campaign, book, research, — the output isn't pre-decided. We figure out what fits the mission, your life, and the world it's going into.​

Articulating the value

What you'd offer, who needs it, why they'd take it.

Mapping the path

First steps, organisational shape, financing model — for-profit, non-profit, or somewhere in between

How we work together?

I am like your sounding board and partner -  in - crime. You drop the messy notes, and we make sense together.

Through frameworks and processes, we walk step by step from your idea to your audience. 

Formats

Personal Workshop

This is the first commitment you make towards building.. A one on one session where we define what you want to build and why, why you and how.

Long Term Consultations

This is for when we are seriously ready to commit. We set a 6 month goal oriented plan - build MVP, go-to market and work on it together.

Cohort
Workshops

Shorter and longer cohort based experiences - workshops, spaces curated as per need.

Why I do it?

I believe the world shifts for the better when people follow through on the idea that's been at the back of their head - the one they keep returning to but haven't given themselves permission to build.

I've spent the last decade following that thread in my own life :three startups, a fellowship at a foundation, an academic paper, a personal research project. The work taught me that the gap between "I have an idea" and "this thing exists" is mostly not skill. It's the absence of a thinking partner who can hold your ambiguity without forcing it into a box too early.

That's what I do for people now.

Select Work

A programme bringing technologists, designers, and social-sector practitioners together to translate general-purpose AI capabilities into clear, implementable use cases for public good.

Individuals

with a problem you can't stop thinking about, a skill you're trying to shape into something, or an idea you want to test before committing years to it — let's talk.

Organisations

a foundation, accelerator, lab, or innovation team running cohorts or experiments — I take on embedded programme leadership and standalone workshop engagements.
