# Jahnavi Mange > RegenIntel Fellow| VERGE 24 Emerging Leader | Regenerative & Sustainability Design Strategist | Systems Thinker | Strategic Foresight | Social Innovation | Story Teller Location: San Jose, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jahnavimange I’m a transformational leader deeply committed to fostering leadership and compassion in climate solutions and social innovation. I hold a Master's degree in Design for Sustainability and Industrial Design from the Savannah College of Art & Design, along with a Bachelor's in Electronics Engineering from Mumbai, India. I’m also a certified Permaculture Designer from Santacruz Permaculture Farm and a Strategic Foresight Practitioner from The Future School (TFSX). Currently, I’m launching my startup, From Soil to Soul, a deeply personal venture aimed at regenerating and restoring our relationship with the land, promoting collective healing, and advocating for food justice and equity. I use storytelling, systems thinking, youth empowerment, and community-building to create meaningful impact. I bring a wealth of experience in sustainability and regenerative design strategy, having worked with the City of Savannah to develop frameworks for social innovation, the SDGs, clean energy, and equity. At Dhana Inc., I led efforts to promote behavior change toward conscious clothing consumption through the circular economy. I’ve also consulted with major corporations like Coca-Cola, Volvo, and Heineken, helping them embed sustainability into their business strategies. With a spiritual and poetic approach to life, my ethos is reflected in my work and in the vibrant communities I build. Beyond my professional roles, I dedicate myself to climate leadership by mentoring students to embrace regenerative thinking, volunteering for forest restoration projects, and supporting organisations focused on social and climate justice.
