Deepak Parmar
@deepakparmar
Director of Customer Experience, leading QA, training, and operations to measurable impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Customer Experience leader with 10+ years of end-to-end ownership across global support operations, quality assurance, training, and complaints management. I design scalable CX frameworks, coach high-performing teams, and drive measurable improvements in CSAT, resolution times, and compliance adherence—especially across distributed and outsourced environments.
As a Director – Customer Experience & Growth Strategy at upGrad, I helped shape post-acquisition CX by owning the customer journey for 1,300+ paid students and building an inbound pipeline of 2,500+ qualified leads/day. I also established cross-functional feedback loops between support, product, and academic teams to resolve escalations faster and protect brand trust during transition.
Previously, I led CX Quality, Training & Operations across one of India’s largest EdTech platforms, where I built comprehensive QA and monitoring systems, managed the full complaints lifecycle with SLA tracking and root cause analysis, and created a training function from zero. I’ve implemented AI-assisted workflows and support automation to improve throughput, earned Employee of the Year 2023, and delivered consistent growth through rapid promotions and multi-country scale across India, Singapore, and the Philippines.
