My professional journey has been an exhilarating exploration, cutting through pivotal sectors including Banking, NBFC, IT & Consulting, Retail, Travel & Hospitality, Manufacturing, Energy, Automotives and PE- Real estate.

The Polymathic Approach
I’m not confined by a single discipline, I’m driven by infinite curiosity and a passion for learning that spans across industries, ideas, and innovation. With a polymathic mindset, I explore intersections others may overlook, and in doing so, uncover powerful insights that shape meaningful, human-centered strategies.
Over the years, I’ve cultivated a unique blend of expertise across diverse domains, integrating experiences from business, technology, psychology, design, and strategy. This broad foundation allows me to not only see the big picture, but also to understand the fine details that make a difference. I thrive on complexity the kind of challenges that require systems thinking, empathy, and adaptive problem-solving.
At the heart of it all is my work in HR and organizational development. Here, I translate multidimensional thinking into tangible outcomes: driving cultural transformation, aligning talent strategies with evolving business needs, and building resilient, future-ready organizations. I don’t just react to change, I anticipate and shape it.
My strength lies not only in my knowledge, but in how I connect the dots, bridging insights from psychology to data, strategy to systems, vision to execution. This approach allows me to bring clarity to ambiguity, and momentum to ideas.
Passion for Knowledge and the Cosmos
Beyond the boardrooms and industry landscapes, with a polymathic mindset, I am a devoted bibliophile and an astrophile. My love for books and the stars is not just a hobby but a continual quest for knowledge and wonder. This dedication to learning and exploring the vastness of the universe has been a driving force, propelling me to explore the intersections of psychology, neuroscience, and the cosmic mysteries, enriching my perspectives as a human being and my role in the society. I have personally read, explored and absorbed insights from over 200+ books, gaining a wealth of knowledge across diverse subjects.
Holistic Transformation
With a wealth of experience navigating the intricate dynamics of human behavior both inside and outside the organization, I have cultivated a deep understanding of how people connect, thrive, and evolve in diverse environments. My journey has been further enriched by a recent certification in coaching from the International Coaching Federation, further expanding my toolkit to empower individuals and teams to unlock their full potential. My curiosity about CXO-level dynamics and the dramas that unfold in boardrooms led me to become a certified independent director, giving me a deeper perspective on high-level decision-making and organizational leadership. Combined with expertise in total rewards, performance management, HR technology, and organizational development, I’ve embarked on this mission to enable and simplify the lives of individuals and teams. My polymathic mindset allows me to draw connections across diverse fields, crafting holistic, people-centered strategies that drive growth, well-being, and transformation.
