She completed her B.

Bharati has an active interest in creating sustainable communities and has been particularly concerned about how to create sustainable building designs.

She feels Architecture is an essential arena for sustainable innovation.
Buildings represent about half the annual energy and emissions and three-quarters of its electricity. With the built environment growing -architects have a historic opportunity to transform its impact for the better.
