@rajanisahay
Academic and education operations leader who grows schools through training, curriculum execution, and team mentorship.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Zonal Academic Operations leader, currently driving early childhood education quality at FirstCry Intellitots by leading academic professionals who shape how children learn. I take responsibility for Preschool centers across the West zone and consistently work to keep centers and teams motivated, self-confident, and performance-ready.
At FirstCry Intellitots, I focus on center growth through curriculum execution and renewal, and I support product growth through sales of new products with clear demonstrations to managements. I assess teaching methods and lesson plans, then train teachers accordingly, while also conducting facilitator workshops and parental seminars to maintain strong learning outcomes.
Previously, as a Product Consultant at Oxford University Press (OUPI), I specialized in skill based educational software training and client-centric implementation—blending technology with teaching and training methodologies. I supported schools across Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi–NCR, West UP, and Uttarakhand, assessing lesson plans, training teachers, and running facilitator workshops and parental seminars.
Earlier, I built growth and academic capability as a Senior Growth Partner at E-DAC Learning Systems and led operational excellence as a Centre Head at Beanstalk World Junior School and Academic Manager at Zee Learn Ltd. I’m results-driven, people-first, and I aim to lead by example—strengthening teams through mentorship, assessment, and continuous improvement.
