About

With 20 years of experience in CSR and sustainability, I have had the privilege of leading strategic initiatives across various sectors, including Healthcare, Education, Livelihood, Environment, Sports, and other welfare-oriented areas. My passion lies in shaping companies into socially responsible corporate citizens while driving impactful change for communities. I’ve played a pivotal role in crafting and executing strategies that enhance corporate image through meaningful social impact. A key area of focus has been employee volunteering programs, where I’ve developed platforms that not only empower employees to engage in social causes but also transform them into passionate brand ambassadors. As a firm advocate of ESG principles, I have integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance factors into corporate strategies, ensuring a holistic approach to sustainability and long-term value creation. Throughout my career, I’ve worked collaboratively with government agencies, civil society, and communities to build sustainable, long-term partnerships that make a real difference. My commitment is to continue helping companies lead as the most socially responsible organizations in the country, aligning business objectives with a deeper purpose for the greater good, and driving positive ESG impact across all levels.
