Presently engaged in evangelising the business of Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Generative AI & Big Data while also exploring more about the world of Agile at Persistent Systems. I also remain an expert at Data Privacy and Security. My key interest area has been taking existing businesses and growing them beyond generally considered scale, a trait I have demonstrated across two previous employers, and is underway at my current workplace. As a highly adept risk-taking young professional with over seventeen years of experience I have undertaken diverse roles comprising growth strategy, M&A, sales & marketing, business development, alliance management, consulting and delivery. I have had the privilege of working with the best of clients across verticals such as banking, insurance, regulators, exchanges, large enterprises, public sector undertakings as well as a variety of start-ups from across the known Globe. I did my MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, in a (delayed) quest to learn the finer skills of general management and leadership from the incredibly adept faculty and especially the four score peers who undertook the same expedition. Key Skills: Resourceful, Risk Taker, Innovator, Self Motivated, Strategic Thinker.
