About

I thrive on transforming chaos into order while supporting visionary leaders on their journeys. My career has taken me through various dynamic environments—from bustling startups like Stashfin to established giants like Paytm—where I’ve honed my skills in executive support and project leadership. At Stashfin as the General Manager in the founders' office, I orchestrated large-scale events and managed critical lender meetings while ensuring smooth internal communications. One of my proudest moments was leading an organization-wide initiative that not only aligned our core values but also enhanced employee engagement significantly—an experience that reinforced my belief in the power of cohesive teamwork. Before Stashfin, I had the privilege of working at Paytm as an Executive Assistant to the President & COO. Here I streamlined travel logistics for international engagements which ultimately saved our team countless hours—because when every minute counts at this level of business operations, efficiency is key! My previous role at Clix Capital allowed me to fine-tune my stakeholder management skills by prioritizing tasks effectively for our CEO amidst a whirlwind of responsibilities. Throughout my journey from Emaar India to Aircel and beyond—I’ve always embraced challenges with open arms. Whether it was generating comprehensive reports for board meetings or guiding teams through policy changes during transitions—the thrill of making impactful contributions drives me daily. When I'm not immersed in work projects or strategizing new initiatives at home with my family (who keep things lively!), you can find me exploring new ideas through books or engaging with local community events because I believe growth happens both personally and professionally. If you're interested in discussing best practices around executive support or sharing insights on project leadership strategies—I’d love to connect!
