About

Currently spearheading as a Knowledge and Communication SME for Mercer's Operational Excellence Team, I thrive at the intersection of innovation and efficiency. I orchestrate dynamic initiatives to empower colleagues in adopting Lean practices, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. From facilitating immersive learning experiences to amplifying success stories through targeted communication, I cultivate an environment where excellence thrives. Grounded in Master's in Design Thinking and a Bachelor's in Sociology, I harness over 7 years of expertise in project management, strategic communication and social impact assessment to bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and human-centric perspective to every endeavor. My journey commenced in the non-profit sector, immersing myself in research and consulting roles where I discovered my knack for strategic planning and organizational dynamics. Transitioning seamlessly, I have curated a robust portfolio, navigating over 20+ projects with renowned entities like Genpact, the Ministry of Human Resource Development, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Research Assistant

  • Assisted Prof. Shahana Chattaraj in conducting a research project on internet-based transport services like Ola and Uber in New Delhi and London.

As part of this project, the research team conducted surveys of drivers in New Delhi and London to learn about their experiences driving for these companies, and their working conditions.

The lab's purpose was to propose a structured innovative approach in enhancing the quality, efficiency and experience of public health services in rural Bihar by the use of collaborative and user centered design techniques. Out of the four innovations proposed by the lab, I was actively involved in designing a more efficient and high quality Service Experience of Village Health and Nutrition Day so as to amp up the effectiveness and reach of VHND initiative. A major take back from my work in Bihar was that the only effective approach to innovation in the delivery of public services must be driven by understanding the local needs.
