India

Message

At PRASAD SEEDS PVT. LTD., I coordinate administration for R&D, supporting the Director of Research and working with research, finance, HR, IT, procurement, and vendors. I introduced QR-code tagging and a structured register for R&D assets, and maintain lot-wise seed inventory records.

At ICRISAT, I supported the Head of Genebank and research teams with administration, procurement, and financial reporting. I completed Crop Trust technical and financial reporting within a tight deadline despite limited handover, and was entrusted with ongoing Genebank financial reporting.

At IRRI SOUTH ASIA REGIONAL CENTRE (ISARC), I supported the Centre’s establishment and operationalization by coordinating office and laboratory requirements, procurement, facilities, and services. Earlier, at IRRI SOUTH ASIA HUB (BASED AT ICRISAT), I coordinated project administration and reporting, prepared financial reports, and organized regional workshops and technical meetings.
