The campaign received recognition in over 30 countries across the world.[6] Miks in collaboration with high profile show business personalities organized and hosted various social events in London as part of the Kellman Productions[7] Soon after that Miks worked in various capacities supported by the EU Commission in Europe and Africa. Together with leading European not-for-profits, Miks conceptualised and executed more than 10 international mobility projects for EU young leaders [8] In early 2014, Miks moved to India and closely worked with youth-led businesses and social entrepreneurs to build brand identities of early stage startups.[9] The support of the European based government officials, NGOs and educational institutions, his experience in project development and implementation across EU, Africa and India and recent EU-India Strategic Partnership led Miks to co-found Make Room India, an Indian-European Social Change Ecosystem. At Make Room India he undertakes international project management and is the Chair of the Indian - European international Training Forum “Changemakers’ Room”.[10] Also Miks is one of the creators of the Action Agenda for Change 2020.
