What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a higher education or EdTech role where I can lead admissions outreach and strategic partnerships, grow revenue through channel networks, and use data-driven marketing and counseling to scale enrollment sustainably.

I’m a business development and growth leader with 15+ years of experience building high-value partnerships, managing corporate alliances, and driving sustainable revenue outcomes across higher education and EdTech. My focus is stakeholder engagement, strategic outreach, and institutional expansion—turning collaborations into measurable growth.

At AND Academy (Head – Admissions & Outreach), I lead strategic outreach, institutional partnerships, and growth initiatives while managing a team of 14. I’ve driven notable admission and enrollment performance, including 80% growth in UI/UX Design admissions, 70% growth in Graphic Design admissions, 80% growth in Interior Design admissions, plus 80% enrollment growth in FY 2023–24 and 55% in FY 2024–25.

Earlier at ISBF (Head – Marketing & Admissions), I led digital marketing, admissions, and channel partner functions—achieving 200% growth through a channel partner network and 50% growth in Undergraduate and Postgraduate admissions. I also spearheaded strategic partnerships with College Board, Pearson VUE, Credenc, Finance Peer, and L&T Edutech, supported by negotiation, budget ownership, CRM management, and performance analytics.
