What I'm looking for

I’m seeking work focused on policy analysis, stakeholder engagement and program implementation, particularly in vocational education, skilling policy and entrepreneurship development.

At Ernst and Young LLP, I work on the World Bank-supported SANKALP project, supporting vocational education initiatives and the development of national policies and SOPs. I led inter-ministerial coordination for PM VIKAS and planned and executed Lok Samvardhan Parv at the national level.

At the National Council for Vocational Education and Training, I improved and administered the NQR portal and aligned more than 250 job roles with NSQF and NCrF. Earlier, I founded Business Charcha, developing entrepreneurial skilling programmes and a networking platform for entrepreneurs, MSMEs and policy leaders.
