What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead content strategy, publishing operations, and learning-content initiatives where I can improve workflows, collaborate with subject experts, and build high-quality, curriculum-aligned products.

I've spent 14 years at Wiley India building academic publishing products across STEM and Business, Finance & Accounting. In my current content management work, I identify authors and reviewers, evaluate proposals, and deliver custom publishing projects for premier institutes including IIMs.

I've managed 12+ concurrent projects annually and delivered 20+ projects ahead of schedule. By applying Copilot, Claude, and workflow optimisation, I've improved content development efficiency by 40%.

Earlier, I reviewed and enhanced 80+ higher-education manuscripts, adapted 30+ Wiley legacy titles for Indian and international markets, and delivered 25+ academic publishing projects across NEET, JEE, and STEM. I work closely with authors, SMEs, faculty reviewers, designers, and production teams to maintain quality, pedagogy, and academic integrity.

My foundation in chemistry and instructional design helps me turn curriculum and market needs into clear, effective learning content.
