About

A self motivated, passionate corporate professional who simply can't rest until he 'gets it done!' I deliver critical projects in uncertain and dynamic environments as a Project manager for Business Process Improvement, Digital Transformation, EBITDA improvement, Operational Excellence with a long term strategic focus. MBA from IIM Indore adds to my business acumen and experience in Pharma and Oil and Gas has widened my spectrum. Engineering from DTU taught me problem solving which is the backbone of all the projects that I implement. A personal knack for perfection keeps me grounded enough to deliver the best quality in whatever I do, a skill that I keep honing by taking regular feedback from peers, managers, stakeholders and mentors. The idea is to always give back - to the organization, to the society.
