After 4+ years in public service with the Government of Assam, where I led large-scale digital transformation and crisis management programs, I made a successful pivot to the consulting world—most recently heading business operations at a Netherlands-based AI risk consulting startup. This shift wasn’t just about changing sectors; it was about redefining my career narrative while leveraging my core strengths in strategy, stakeholder management, and tech-driven impact. Post my Executive MBA from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, I joined Sutherland Global as Manager, Platform Solutions Group. Here, I lead Agentic AI implementations and enterprise transformation initiatives for global clients, while contributing to the organization’s strategic AI capability-building efforts. This role sits at the intersection of AI, business strategy, and large-scale execution—bringing together everything I’ve built across government, consulting, and tech. During my MBA, I led initiatives within the Consulting Club and immersed myself in cross-functional leadership and industry projects. My journey—from grassroots governance to global consulting and now enterprise AI transformation—has given me deep insights into career pivots, timing, and how to upskill effectively.
