What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on inclusive education and CSR program delivery where I can lead partnerships, scale impact, and strengthen M&E and stakeholder engagement.

I am a mission-driven social impact professional with almost four years of experience designing and implementing large-scale education and workforce development programs across India. I have led projects that reached over 6,000 visually impaired learners in more than 260 blind schools and managed multi-stakeholder initiatives with government, CSR funders, and NGOs.

In my current role I plan and manage high-profile CSR events and deployments, co-led M&E strategy aligned to OECD DAC frameworks, and partnered with operations, product, and training teams to improve deployment quality and reduce ticket resolution time by 60%. I maintain repositories of success stories and case studies used for donor reporting and internal communications.

I excel in volunteer and community engagement, stakeholder relationship management, impact communication, and program delivery. I design training materials and implementation guides used by teachers and partner NGOs, and I have managed multi-lakh deployments with compliance and impact evaluation frameworks.
