Meet the Warriors
“It’s about being a warrior. This is your path and you will pursue it with excellence. You face your fear, because your goal demands it. That is the goddamn warrior spirit.”

Amal
Education | Research
Heya everyone! I’m Amal. I am a PhD candidate at the Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Since I started working, I was donating 2% of my salary (after subtracting the essential costs) every month to a charity, usually focused on the upliftment of girls and women. When I found out about humane warriors, I was keen to volunteer because I finally felt that I could actually do something tangible rather than just donating money. It has been a challenging and great experience so far. I never thought that volunteering from another continent could have such an impact on the lives of people living in a completely different continent. I am looking forward to diving in to more projects at HW and working with the team!

Hi everybody! My name is Atrayee and I am currently a Masters student at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany. I am originally from the land of the “Red river and blue hills'', Assam, India. I got to know about Humane Warriors through a senior from college who was volunteering at that time. I decided to join the team as a Research Blogger/ Content Creator but have since morphed into getting involved with the education based projects that HW has initiated. Hoping to collaborate on more such fulfilling journeys with HW in the future.

Hello everyone! Malavika here, I am doing my PhD in computational bio-engineering, working towards better ophthalmic care. I'm currently based in Bern, Switzerland, and am originally from Bombay. I started with @humane.warriors within the first week and feel empowered with the success of the campaign!
As a start, I pledge to donate 2% of my salary henceforth. I strongly believe each of us can make a difference.
Through humane warriors I found my passion for education related welfare projects and am hoping to help some of our current collaborators on this front.

Hi all! I am Nupur, a Teach for India alumnus. I joined the Humane Warriors team after I collaborated with them when they helped my classroom out in Mumbai with ration kits during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was inspired by their hard-work and generosity and wanted to do my part and that’s when I decided to join these amazing bunch of people. I have seen myself continuously learn and grow with them the last few months, and am looking forward to creating a positive impact!

Board Member | Switzerland
Hello! I am Marius. My background is in cell biology and image analysis. During my Ph.D., I developed the first versions of Imaris and co-founded Bitplane. For the next twenty years, I had the opportunity to grow Bitplane’s team, make financial ends meet, talk to fascinating clients worldwide, and keep them happy. After we sold the company a bit more than ten years ago, I got fascinated by Bitcoin and started to invest a significant part of my days understanding the manifold implications of this revolutionary phenomenon. I got introduced to humane warriors by Naveen, one of the co-founders. When I met some of the HW team last August, I was deeply impressed by their skills, dedication, and achievements in only a few months of existence. I am very much enjoying working with HW and allocating some of my donations to its projects.

Hi all, I am Rhythima, co-founder of Humane Warriors. I am currently also doing my PhD in environmental engineering in ETH Zurich, Switzerland. I am originally from India, but have been living in Europe for the last 5 years. When the pandemic struck with a lockdown forcing millions of poor from India into hunger, the clear gap of wealth and resources in different parts of the world became quite visible. Thus, Naveen and I decided to act on it through a crowdfund for closing this gap (where the cost of one pizza in Zurich could fund a family’s basic food supply for a month in India). Later, as multiple warriors across the world joined this campaign, we became the Humane Warriors, a network of extremely talented volunteers, working on hunger, education, climate action and livelihood to develop resilient communities.

Hi everyone! I am Sathya, a UX Designer in the field of healthcare, currently designing a patient monitoring system used in Cardiology labs. I currently live in Erlangen, Germany and am originally from Chennai, India.
I was inspired to be part of Humane Warriors when I came across Rhythima’s posts and fantastic work. I wanted to do my part by contributing to designing the website, as I have always wanted to do something beyond just monetary contributions. It is incredibly exciting for me to work with such an incredibly talented, driven and intelligent bunch of people who are striving to make a lasting impact in society.

Hi, this is Supriya. I lead design and branding for Humane Warriors. I am an architect, urbanist and a watercolour illustrator. I am currently pursuing my PhD in urban planning and climate resilience at TU Delft, Netherlands and am originally from Thane, India.
Humane Warriors is a true illustration of how tiny drops form an ocean. Our volunteer network is sprinkled across the globe and it is just good intentions and dedication that got us to bring food, education and jobs to 2,00,000 people through the lockdown. As we expand our impact on climate action and environment issues, I believe that good design truly has the power to accelerate this movement and build resilient cities and communities.

Hello everyone, I’m Jelena! I am a PhD student at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. I work in the theoretical chemistry department on optimisation of solar fuel cell's components.
The work of a friend of mine inspired me to join HW and act actively on the social injustice in the world. Tackling it using sustainable solutions inspires me even more as I’ve always been excited about the “greens” - energy and technology (and space and food).
I play volleyball and I enjoy all outdoor activities. My free time is filled with random diy’s and family calls.
