About

I am a Management Consultant with Alvarez & Marsal in Business Transformation Services, with experience across Consumer, Retail, Energy, Manufacturing and Financial services sectors. My expertise spans commercial due diligence, strategy, and performance improvement projects, advising private equity and corporate clients on growth and efficiency strategies. My MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore along with my role in the Placement Committee, sharpened my leadership, stakeholder management, and strategic problem-solving skills. Prior to my MBA, I worked at Tata Motors, where I worked in commercial vehicle export operations. As a recognized women leader, I drove operational efficiencies, achieving cost savings, and received multiple awards for performance excellence. My experience at Atypical Advantage, a startup focused on creating employment opportunities for differently-abled individuals, allowed me to craft and implement market expansion strategies, giving me hands-on exposure to the startup ecosystem. I hold a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Trichy and I completed my schooling at Narayana College, consistently ranking among the top students. I am passionate about strategy, finance, and business transformation. Startups and Finance particularly intrigue me, and I enjoy exploring ways to drive sustainable growth and innovation in these spaces.
