About
Human-centric leader with 20+ years of global experience across HR strategy, operations, and organizational transformation. I specialize in building from the ground up — whether it's establishing Global Capability Centers (GCCs), launching social enterprises, or leading purpose-driven initiatives that uplift vulnerable communities. Currently leading the India operations of Rahab’s Daughters, a U.S.-based nonprofit combatting human trafficking through rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration. I bring strategic direction, operational discipline, and people-first leadership to social impact, while continuing my work as a People Coach. My journey has spanned building Process frameworks in tech and consulting, championing change management, enabling leadership development, and founding social commerce initiative empowering traditional artisans. At the heart of all I do is a belief in sustainable systems, authentic engagement, and enabling people to rise with dignity — whether in boardrooms or on the frontlines of change.
