Sunil holds a Bsc. (Econ) from the London School of Economics & Political Science
He says: "The bottom line is you need people at all levels to support differences and it should be from different backgrounds, ages and sexes. Overall, that creates the normalisation that LGBTQ+ people I believe want—although I would never presume to speak for the whole community.
No one wants to stand out in a room, or in a meeting, or in their jobs due to their sexuality and I believe it's important to be recognised for who we are—our skills, our competencies and our characters, but not our sexual orientation."
