About

I work at the intersection of technology and enterprise decision making, helping organizations translate complex technology choices into clear, practical outcomes. At Nagarro, I work across AI, cloud, and digital platforms, contributing to discovery, solution design, and enterprise solution direction. My work focuses on understanding client context, synthesizing inputs from distributed technical teams, and shaping cohesive, value driven technology responses, with an emphasis on agility and scalability. I hold an ISB PGP (MBA), which sharpened my structured thinking, narrative building, and design orientation, helping me present complex technology choices in a clear enterprise context. Earlier, I worked within the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, on nuclear programs, rare earths, and atomic minerals in highly regulated, mission critical environments. I am particularly interested in AI driven systems, fluidic intelligence, and consultative problem solving for complex enterprise platforms.
