Work History

Organizational Design & Strategy

Caarya
Hyderabad
09.2020 - 12.2025
  • Organizational and operating model design
    Designed operating models, role structures, contribution units, workflows, and governance guardrails to translate early-stage vision into scalable ways of working, particularly for learning programs, career pathways, and future-of-work capability initiatives.
  • Execution systems and program architecture
    Built modular execution systems (pods, execution units, participation flows) and program architectures that enabled parallel execution across multiple education- and work-oriented programs without centralized control.
  • Platform, services, and SaaS-style design
    Architected SaaS-style platforms and service models to support learning, skill development, and career-linked execution programs, including onboarding flows, progression logic, and delivery pipelines.
  • Real-world validation and system stress-testing
    Stress-tested organizational and operating designs through live institutional and partner deployments, validating them under real constraints such as timelines, cohorts, and stakeholder environments.
  • System simplification and AI enablement
    Simplified complex frameworks into clear system primitives, documentation, and playbooks so teams could operate independently. Later explored AI-assisted and agentic system design post-stabilization to support coordination without semantic drift.
  • Adoption and communication enablement
    Contributed to program design, positioning, and communication artifacts (UX flows, narratives, decks, landing pages) where required to support adoption and execution.
