What I'm looking for

I'm looking to partner with leaders to build AI-enabled learning ecosystems, strengthen leadership capability, close critical skill gaps, and create high-performance cultures that support business transformation and scalable growth.

I'm driving enterprise learning and leadership capability at Group Bayport, partnering with senior leaders across 5+ markets and business units to build future-ready frameworks. My work supports 150+ mid-to-senior leaders and structured learning journeys for 1,300+ employees.

Previously, I led AI-powered learning strategy at Junglee Games, including an AI Academy, leadership pipelines, cross-functional learning pathways, onboarding, and L&D measurement tied to business outcomes. At Ciena, Airtel Business, and Nokia, I connected learning strategy, competency management, performance consulting, and change enablement to organizational priorities.

Across 17+ years, I've facilitated 300+ sessions on leadership development, talent management, and organizational culture in India and abroad. I'm a CTA Certified Professional Coach who enjoys helping individuals, leaders, and teams find their own solutions, and I also volunteer as a cricket coach for kids.
