Co Founder and Head of Community @ Planet Pact

About

I demonstrate leadership and interpersonal skills. For someone like me, who hail for a tiny village from the South of India, the journey so far has been with a lot of struggle and I have been able to overcome them through my sheer determination and zeal. I like challenges and I have always taken up roles that challenge my status quo and have achieved in it. I am known to be a people’s person and I believe challenging opportunities are plenty out there and taking up those challenges shapes up the person. I am a quick learner and have experience in working with international community. With interests in non-profits, I have managed to simultaneously volunteer along with my work for more than 14 years. Large scale project management, people management, training and resource management are some of the skills I learned on my own during my volunteering. I am passionate about the things I do and the passion generates a lot of energy in me. I also never fail to try things and fail in them rather than not trying at all. Raving to work with the international community soon as I believe that the world is ONE!
