About

As the Founder and CEO of InGrade, my mission is to make high-quality education accessible to everyone. While we specialize in Data Science, AI, and Cybersecurity, our platform offers a wide range of both tech and non-tech courses to equip learners with the skills needed to thrive in today’s evolving landscape. Before launching InGrade, I had the privilege of leading Data Operations at IBM, where I transformed complex data into actionable insights. My experience as an Operations Manager at Tata Consultancy Services taught me the value of robust processes and teamwork in driving organizational success. Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying on top of the latest trends in tech, cybersecurity, and education. I believe in lifelong learning and am dedicated to helping others unlock their potential in both tech and non-tech fields. Let’s connect and explore how we can create meaningful impact together!
