IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Enterprise AI & Data Transformation leader with 18 years of experience architecting and delivering large-scale Data Modernization, Cloud Transformation, Enterprise Analytics, and AI Transformation programs across Banking, Insurance, Pharma, Retail, and Oil & Gas.

I’m especially proud of an IIMA capstone where I secured 1st Place for an AI-powered Renewable Energy Forecasting platform integrating agentic workflows and Human-in-the-Loop governance.
