Abhiram Padavala

GLL

My name is Abhi, a recent graduate from Queen’s University Belfast with a passion for sustainability and the circular economy. Growing up in India, I developed a deep appreciation for efficiency, reuse, and recycling in all aspects of life. With a bachelor’s in civil engineering and a master’s in construction and project management, I have worked on refurbishment projects, repurposing storm-damaged materials to reduce costs and waste while maintaining aesthetics. I aim to drive larger-scale sustainable initiatives in future projects. Joining 30 Under 30 is a valuable opportunity to learn from pro-sustainability leaders and contribute towards transition to Net Zero in Northern Ireland and beyond.
