About

With over 20 years of dedicated service in the Government sector, I have consistently championed youth empowerment in Andhra Pradesh, driving initiatives focused on skill development, employment generation, innovation, and entrepreneurship. As Chief Executive Officer with the Government of Andhra Pradesh, I lead transformative programs designed to nurture skill development trainings, job melas, start-ups promotion, support young entrepreneurs through arranging seed funding, and cultivate a dynamic tech-driven sustainable economic development ecosystem across the state. My academic background is rooted in interdisciplinary excellence. I am an alumnus of the Indian School of Business (ISB), where I completed the General Management Program. I hold an M.Phil. in Political Science and International Relations from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), a Postgraduate Diploma in Governance from the University of Hyderabad (HCU), and have recently submitted my Ph.D. thesis in Political Science and Public Administration at Andhra University, Visakhapatnam. In pursuit of my passion for innovation and skill development, I also completed a specialized program in Innovation Management from the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. Professionally, I have held several key leadership roles, including Consultant for World Bank Projects (APRPRP & APCFM), Executive Director of APSSDC, Project Director for DRDO/DWMA, Deputy General Manager at OMCAP, and Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Minister for Industries, Commerce, Investments & IT, Government of Andhra Pradesh. I currently serve as the CEO of both the Andhra Pradesh Information Technology Academy (APITA) and the Andhra Pradesh Innovation Society (APIS). With expertise spanning innovation and entrepreneurship, skill development, non-profit management, and public communication, I have successfully forged impactful collaborations with stakeholders across government, academia, and civil society. My work is passion driven and largely in achieving the vision to create an inclusive and future-tech ready ecosystem enabling the youth of Andhra Pradesh to thrive, innovate, and lead.
