About

A passionate practitioner of strategic design and a thought leader in Corporate Interior Architecture with over 23 years of experience, I have defined a career in workplace innovation by constantly seeking to explore new ways of embedding emerging trends shaping our industry through multiple design projects in India. My knowledge and on-ground experience cover global workplace design and design-build delivery, imbibing sustainability practices like LEED, WELL, Net Zero, Circular Economy, Ethical Sourcing and much more. A key cornerstone of my professional experience has been Strategic decision making affecting change and transformation, creating and driving lasting relationships. ► I am deeply interested in understanding the changing nature of work and shaping the future workplace to deliver a design that is informed, purposeful and innovative. The Future of Work, where human needs converse with technology and employee wellbeing, is an area of keen interest. Change, generations at play, all things anthropological that impact the nature of work deeply inspire me towards shaping a future workplace that is informed, purposeful and innovative. Leadership skills include Workplace Design & Strategy, Stakeholder Management [bridging the gap between global RE leaders and local delivery teams], cultivating best global practices for design innovation and project delivery, network building skills, managing P&L, and shaping sales strategies. ►A huge believer in Vulnerable leadership, I am constantly engaging and empowering colleagues to unleash future leaders and aim to empower my fellow travelers with new design & delivery technologies to leverage the power of data and analytics. My leadership roles have been consistently marked with setting up successful teams, mentoring, training, and upskilling team members.
