Monisha Nayaka — Operations Associate
I’m an MBA candidate at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad (Batch of 2026), building on two years of leadership experience at JSW Paints and a process-automation internship at Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories. My journey has been shaped by the intersection of operations excellence, market understanding, and strategic problem-solving - from optimizing production cycles at JSW Paints to driving NIR-based process automation during my tenure at Dr. Reddy’s. At JSW, I led cross-functional teams to streamline new product introductions, reduce production cycle times and implement TPM practices that strengthened efficiency across units. Now, at IIT (ISM), I’m expanding my expertise in strategic management, marketing, and product innovation, aligning data-driven insights with scalable business impact. Beyond academics, I serve as the Batch Representative and Ad-Com Member, coordinating institute–industry engagements and HR Conclave outreach experiences that strengthened my people, communication, and leadership capabilities. I’m deeply motivated by roles where analytical thinking meets execution -Strategy, Product, Marketing, Supply Chain, and General Management - and where I can contribute to creating measurable business growth and operational excellence. Open to connect on opportunities, ideas, or conversations around business transformation, digital strategy, and market growth.
