What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my program management skills to create impactful social initiatives while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a PMP certified professional with over a decade of experience in large-scale program management, data and process management, and grant management. My analytical skills and collaborative approach have allowed me to successfully drive social impact initiatives, including the planning and execution of a 200+ bed cancer hospital and India’s largest Bone Marrow Transplant J-PAL centre.

At NSE Foundation, I manage an annual budget of Rs. 200 Cr across various development programs focused on health, nutrition, skill development, and environmental sustainability. I have created processes, policies, and monitoring guidelines to ensure program effectiveness and compliance with CSR regulations. My previous roles have equipped me with a strong foundation in stakeholder management and systems thinking, enabling me to lead diverse teams and projects effectively.
