Shri straddles public health, leadership, and humor like a seasoned tightrope walker—except with more punchlines. A storyteller, strategist, and accidental improviser, she leads the Centre with an uncanny ability to blend behavioral science with humor (because nothing says “equity” like a well-timed joke). When not demystifying health communications, she’s on stage, writing, or reminding people that yes, epidemiology can be interesting.
