Message

At Indegene Ltd., I manage day-to-day operations across pharma engagements and consult on MLR process optimization. I’ve led a team of editors, coordinators, digital asset librarians, reference specialists, project managers, and submissions managers, and contributed as an AI champion to generative AI enablement.

I designed and deployed Agile process-improvement campaigns that reduced redundant processes by up to 20%. Earlier, as a Research Fellow at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, I investigated how HIV mutations affect the blood-brain barrier and developed protocols for tissue-culture experiments using live viruses.
