Speaker

Hi, I’m Saloni Verma, an officer of the Indian Administrative Service officer, deeply committed to public service and driven by a passion for impactful governance. Hailing from New Delhi, I graduated with a Bachelor’s in English Literature from Hindu College, Delhi University, before venturing into my public service career. My  journey has taken me through diverse roles in Meghalaya, including Block Development Officer in Mylliem, Assistant Commissioner in Shillong, Sub-Divisional Officer (Civil) in Sohra, and currently as Director of Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Executive Director of the Meghalaya Basin Management Agency, Additional Chief Executive Officer of the Sustainable Travel and Efficient Mobility Society, and Additional Project Director of KfW driven Sustainable Land Management Project, where I work to blend innovation and policy for sustainable development.
Beyond my professional life, I’m an avid reader of non-fiction, drawn to ideas that explore the interplay between technology and humanity. I unwind by dancing, cooking, and diving into movies—proudly a Shahrukh Khan fan! Travelling fuels my curiosity, hence I am super excited to be here in Vienna. Looking forward to the new perspectives that will enrich both my personal and professional outlook. I’m excited to connect, share my experiences, and learn from others in this vibrant community!
