What I'm looking for

I am a dedicated business consultant with a strong focus on infrastructure development and project management. My experience spans across various sectors, including urban and industrial infrastructure, where I have successfully managed bids and developed comprehensive business strategies to secure high-value contracts. I pride myself on my ability to build strong partnerships with stakeholders and deliver winning proposals that align with client expectations.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in significant projects such as the GIS-Based Master Plan for Bihar and the ADB-funded Assam Skill University Project. My role has included project coordination, stakeholder management, and the preparation of detailed project reports. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in GIS mapping and solid waste management to contribute to sustainable urban development and enhance the quality of life in communities.
