I’m Ananya Sinha, a student at UWCSEA in Singapore, and someone who’s always been drawn to the “why” behind things. 

Why do policies fail people? Why do we ignore environmental harm until it’s too late? Why do some voices get heard, and others don’t? 

Those kinds of questions have led me to explore everything from sustainable fashion and environmental justice, to political freedoms and education access. I’ve worked on research that became donation drives, written essays that led to internships, and turned curiosity into action whenever I could. 

But beyond the projects and programs, I care about how things are done. With purpose. With empathy. With the belief that small ideas, if followed through, can actually lead to change. 

At school, I’ve found a space to grow that thinking, through research, leadership roles, service work, and debate. 

Outside of it, I ride horses, sing, and stay curious about people, systems, and stories. I also write and do podcasts on my Substack, where I reflect on the questions I’m still figuring out — about identity, ethics, creativity, and the strange, layered way the world works. It’s a space for honesty, curiosity, and sometimes just pausing to think out loud. 

I’m still figuring things out, and probably always will be. But what you’ll see throughout this site is a pattern: I follow questions, I follow impact, and I follow through.
