Having trained 9000 of such individuals and placed them in 200 companies across India, she is a social-change maker and founder of Youth4Jobs, an NGO which works for the cause.
An avid orator, she speaks to organizations about diversity and inclusion, the empowerment and employment of the differently abled, and gender parity. Also, she is regularly invited to talk on various national and international forums to address and inspire students.
Meera has previously worked with the central and the state governments on employment policies and frameworks.

She has also worked as a consultant for World Bank and UNDP and has recently authored a book, “You Can” that motivates one to tap into their inner potential.
