Summary
Development and operations professional with 15+ years of rich experience, spanning both the corporate and development sectors. Starting in 2009, I have built a career rooted in field execution, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement.
Over the last 10+ years in the development sector, I’ve worked with leading organizations such as Miracle Foundation India, Centre for Microfinance & Livelihood (TATA TRUSTS), International Development Enterprises India (IDEI), and Youth4Jobs Foundation, where I led impactful programs in child protection, WASH, livelihoods, skill development, and inclusive entrepreneurship across underserved communities in Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tripura, Odisha, and Northeast India.
Prior to that, I spent five years in the corporate sector in leadership roles with Hinduja Global Solutions (Airtel client), Café Coffee Day, and ICICI Bank Ltd, gaining expertise in sales operations, audit, compliance, and customer management.
My combined exposure enables me to bridge community-level challenges with institutional strategy, offering strengths in project implementation, team leadership, monitoring and evaluation, and social impact reporting.
