With a robust background as Vice President of Planning and Strategy at India's leading EV OEM and over two decades in the Indian Navy, I bring extensive experience in strategic planning, resource mapping, and career development. I have chartered roles in product development, program management, supply chain strategy, strategic sourcing, and financial planning, always with an eye on business continuity and operational excellence. My military career honed my abilities in leading digital transformations and upgrading technical and logistical management systems, making me adept at navigating complex challenges and fostering technological advancements. I am deeply committed to mentorship, for someone looking at career counselling for further education, or making the right choice or individuals/veterans transitioning their invaluable military skills into rewarding civilian careers. I offer guidance in: 1. Strategic Career Planning: Crafting long-term career strategies that align with personal goals and market opportunities. 2. Resource Mapping: Identifying and leveraging available resources to maximize career potential. 3. Career Counselling: Providing personalized advice to navigate career paths effectively. 4. Career Transition Advice: Offering practical steps for smooth transitions from military to civilian roles or while moving from one industry to another. As an IIT Kharagpur, ISB Hyderabad, and IIFT New Delhi alumnus, and an Academic Advisory board member, I integrate a strong educational foundation with real-world experience to provide actionable, strategic guidance. Outside of my professional life, I am a passionate golfer, cycling enthusiast, and devoted pet parent, which keeps me balanced and continuously learning.
