About

As a seasoned corporate real estate professional with a Doctorate in Business Administration specializing in Project Management, I bring 25+ years of expertise in delivering innovative, sustainable, and accessible workplace solutions. My leadership spans diverse roles, from contractor and project management consultant to design consultant and client representative. Currently, as the Executive Director GRE, India Head Design & Construction at JPMorgan Chase, I manage the real estate portfolio of the largest bank in the US, driving construction innovations such as lean construction, BIM, sustainability, and accessibility. My recent academic journey culminated in the development of the 'Lean Integrated Delivery Model (LIDM),' a framework to enhance productivity, eliminate waste, and improve working conditions in the construction industry. With this model, I aim to contribute to the industry's transformation through technology adoption and process optimization. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of professionals and advocating for inclusivity and accessibility in workplace design. My ongoing projects include publishing "An Interaction to Lean Construction focusing on India" and 'Access India: Innovating Workplace Design for Accessibility and Inclusion,' a manual for creating accessible, inclusive work environments. Let's connect to collaborate on transformative ideas in real estate, construction, and workplace innovation.
