Born & raised in India, I’ve had the privilege of working across 6 Indian cities and 12 countries—a journey that shaped my identity as both a Proud Indian and a Global Citizen. I wear multiple hats today: Strategic Advisor to CXOs, Startup & SMB Consultant, Angel Investor, Fintech Advisor, Design Thinking & Product Strategy Coach—and a SkillFluencer committed to helping professionals build the skills needed to thrive in the Human + AI era. Across all these roles, one theme remains constant: I help organisations & individuals unlock growth, raise their innovation quotient & build future-ready capabilities. I believe every problem has a method and every challenge can be solved with curiosity, discipline, & collaboration. This mindset has guided my 22+ year career across strategy consulting, banking, innovation, and capability development. Before founding Yagnum, I served as a Managing Director at Accenture Strategy—leading teams, shaping thought leadership, and driving transformations in innovation, human-centric design, data & AI consulting, digital transformation, core banking modernization, and operational excellence. Earlier, I worked in sales, credit & compliance roles with ICICI Bank, Citibank & Thomas Cook. At Yagnum, where I now serve as Founder & CEO, our mission is to help organisations, leaders & learners thrive in the Human + AI era. We support clients as they: - Unlock next-level growth - Raise the innovation quotient - Accelerate digital & AI adoption - Elevate organizational performance - Enhance financial wellbeing We deliver this through Reliable Advisory & Capability Building Services across Strategic Advisory, AI-First Capability Building, Design Thinking, Product Strategy, and Curated Ecosystem Partnerships. Yagnum is not just a firm, but an ecosystem of clients, partners and collaborators united by a shared purpose: to enable Innovation, Value & Impact. We have also developed proprietary IP, including the Future Skills Framework, which helps organisations build adaptable, AI-ready workforces. In my role today, I advise CXOs across enterprises, in India and international markets, and frequently speak on Innovation, Entrepreneurship, the AI-First Mindset, and Future Skills. I am certified in Design Thinking (LUMA Institute), Cloud Advisory (MIT), Professional Scrum Product Ownership (Scrum.org) and Lean Six Sigma (Indian Statistical Institute). My purpose at the intersection of Strategy, Innovation and AI remains simple: to help organisations and people discover their potential, build what’s next and shape meaningful futures.
