I am a Learning & Development professional with 10 years' experience designing scalable learning strategies, implementing learning technologies, and leading cross-functional projects that deliver measurable business impact. I have led large-scale LMS implementations, designed 50+ e-learning modules using ADDIE, gamification and multimedia, and reduced manual effort through workflow automation.

I have driven onboarding, induction, behavioral and leadership programs across corporates and startups, managed teams and vendors, and used Kirkpatrick evaluation to measure effectiveness. My work has produced outcomes such as a 78% increase in learner engagement, 27% reduction in training time, and significant improvements to onboarding throughput and employee performance.
