I've led multi-site skilling and placement delivery at United Way Mumbai, reaching 550 candidates with 95% training completion and 75% placement against targets.

Across Swades Foundation and Kotak Education Foundation, I managed clusters of up to eight centres, supported 900+ youth annually, trained 1,800 candidates, and maintained strong programme quality, reporting, governance, and stakeholder partnerships.

I bring a counselling background to workforce development, combining learner support, staff capacity building, life-skills programming, and employer engagement to help young people progress into employment and self-reliance.
