01 · About

Empowering education, one bold step at a time.

For more than twenty years, I've been deeply immersed in transforming the educational industry. Throughout, I've blended innovation with strategic acumen — creating a narrative that's both intricate and impactful, and building a track record of leading institutions through inception, accreditation, operations and growth.

My work spans institution growth, scaling schools and academies from inception through accreditation and expansion; operations and HR, leading multi-region teams and hiring across India's education sector; and investment and strategy advisory for founders and boards on brand, pricing and investment strategy.
