Anirudh Soni

Urban Infrastructure Planner. Founder, Call for Climate.

I've spent the last five years trying to understand a specific and frustrating problem: India's cities are running out of water, flooding more frequently, and heating up — and the people responsible for managing this are working with inadequate tools, incomplete data, and frameworks that were designed for a different era.

I started Call for Climate because I believe that gap can be closed. Not all at once, and not by any single organisation — but incrementally, project by project, tool by tool, conversation by conversation.

I'm an urban planner by training, a water specialist by practice, and someone who finds genuine satisfaction in the space between technical knowledge and governance reality — where things either translate into action or they don't.

This page is where I document what I'm learning along the way.
