Dhiviya serves as Regional Director at the Centre for Public Impact in Asia. She brings over two decades of expertise in gender and development in South Asia.

Dhiviya has worked to influence policy and legislation, highlighting the experiences of marginalised groups to address poverty, systemic exclusion, and violence. Her work bridges the gaps between policies, their implementation, and grassroots realities. An intersectional gender justice lens informs her approaches to understanding structural oppression and finding collaborative solutions to social problems.

She has worked with local and state governments on safety for women, gender-sensitive educational systems and curricula, women's empowerment, agriculture, and land rights. Furthermore, her background in conflict transformation enriches her approach to addressing systemic challenges, offering multifaceted perspectives and holistic solutions to complex socio-political issues.
