What I'm looking for

I'm focused on building and scaling education, talent, and technology businesses through university partnerships, sales strategy, hiring, training systems, operational excellence, and P&L leadership.

I've built education-to-employment businesses that connect universities, students, and industry hiring needs. Across 25+ years, I've scaled campus engagement, enrollment, training, placement, and institutional sales initiatives.

At Monster.com, I built the Campus Solutions and University Relations business from scratch, launched a product line ahead of forecast, and led a 23-member team across India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Earlier at CoCubes, I led its only revenue-generating vertical, expanded outreach to 1,500+ institutes, and helped grow market share from 25% to 65%.

At Wipro, I helped build the campus hiring pipeline from zero to 6,500 offers, contributing to large-scale hiring and cost reduction through campus channels. I also founded and ran GSN Eyewear, growing a manufacturing unit to 60 employees and approximately INR 50 million in annual turnover.

Today, I advise EdTech, AI, green energy, and outsourcing ventures on sales strategy, hiring, training systems, operations, leadership development, and P&L management. I also mentor professionals moving into entrepreneurship and speak with students about motivation and career readiness.
