About

I stand at the intersection of Business strategy and Artificial Intelligence. I help organisations think clearly, act boldly, and transform responsibly in the age of AI. After 28 years across GE, SBI Cards, Max Life, and Domino’s, I’ve come to believe that AI is not just a technological revolution — it’s a human one. My work is about helping leaders navigate this new era with clarity, confidence, and compassion. As Masterclass Instructor and Enterprise AI Strategist, I help organizations reimagine their business, workforce, and customer experience through AI. I also conduct c-suite sessions on AI at ISB, IIMs and Large Enterprises, where I’ve trained over 10,000 senior executives to not just understand AI — but to make it work for them. My mission is simple: 👉 Make AI accessible to every leader, not just technologists. 👉 Build a bridge between business goals and AI implementation. 👉 Keep the human side of AI at the center of transformation. Whether it’s an AI Masterclass for CXOs, an enterprise AI strategy roadmap, or hands-on learning workshop, I focus on outcomes that are practical, explainable, and aligned with your business priorities. If you’re a leader asking: > "How does AI impact my Industry, Business, Function and Role? > “Where do I start with AI to make meaningful impact?” > “How do I make my people ready for it?” > “What will it take to scale responsibly?” That’s where I come in. AI is not about replacing humans. It is about amplifying businesses and people who know how it use it well. Let’s explore how your organization can lead and transform with AI.
