01 — About

Rooted in thought,
built for the future

Hi! I'm Ovi — a BSc student in Environmental Science and Disaster Management deeply passionate about sustainability, waste management, disaster resilience, and climate justice. I explore research-based solutions to real-world environmental challenges.

Alongside academics, I run Aves — a multidisciplinary umbrella organization spanning books, fact-checking, environmental action, and media. I also lead BoiBag, a youth-led online bookshop democratizing reading access across Bangladesh.

I'm also a published writer — with over 30 short stories, poems, and novellas published across print media and online platforms. My writing explores nature, identity, and the tension between development and ecology.
