Sandhya's Story
Sandhya started her journey as an academic scholar in pre-med, caught between the worlds of science and art — and somewhere in between, found her vocation as an entrepreneur. Today, she sits at that intersection: blending rigorous analysis with creativity to build communities, companies, and futures that are both just and commercially resilient.
She’s also… a little annoyingly passionate. Sandhya sets “life KPIs” for herself every year — from the number of books she’ll read (always physical copies) to the hours she’ll spend volunteering, and even the number of coffees she must have with friends.
She also writes — a lot — and finds calm in devouring long white papers and building statistical models for fun (a quirk that doubles as her nervous system’s reset button). She can't wait to share her first book with the world, pre-launching on October 26th, 2025.
A third culture kid, she’s lived in 5 countries, visited 65, and feels at home just as much on a stage as curled up with a pile of books. When she’s not running Kaleidoscope or speaking on climate and equity, she’s most likely creating content on TikTok or Instagram engaging with her online community.

The climate crisis is often framed as a race against time. But urgency without endurance leads us to repeat the very mistakes we are trying to undo.
In Burn Bright, Build Slow, Sandhya Sabapathy argues that the most effective climate solutions are not only fast or scalable but also just, resilient, and deeply human. Drawing on over a decade of studying and working in the space, and on interviews with executives, educators, and policy leaders across the globe, she shows how fragile systems collapse under pressure while those built with inclusion, resilience, and transparency endure and outperform.
Burn Bright, Build Slow is a call to arms and a playbook for anyone determined to build better organizations, teach new systems, and lead in uncertain times. Urgent yet hopeful, it asks not only how fast we can act, but how fairly we can lead. Pre-order your copy now.
