━━ WHAT I BRING ━━━ I'm a rare combination: an NIT Bhopal engineer turned procurement leader turned organizational development practitioner. At Reliance Industries, I managed procurement across 52+ locations, led a 3-person team, and delivered ₹7.9 Crore in cost savings — not by cutting corners, but by building systems that lasted. I learned that organizations don't fail because of strategy. They fail because people, processes, and culture are misaligned. That realization brought me to TISS Mumbai, where I'm pursuing a Master's in Organisation Development, Change and Leadership (ODCL) — one of India's only full-time programs dedicated to making organizations genuinely human and high-performing simultaneously. ━━━ WHAT I'M BUILDING TOWARD ━━━ I work at the intersection of: • People strategy & organizational change • Learning systems & leadership development • HR transformation in large, complex organizations If your organization is going through a merger, a cultural reset, a digital transformation, or just struggling to make its people strategy match its business strategy — that's where I can add value. ━━━ LET'S CONNECT IF ━━━ You're in HR/OD/L&D leadership. You're a TISS alumni. You're hiring for change management, HRBP, or OD roles in 2026-27. Or if you believe, like I do, that the best ROI in business is still people.
