I am a dedicated professional with 7 years of expertise in Public Policy Advisory, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of livelihood, climate change, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) projects, Impact Assessment, SDG Integration, Project Implementation, ESG framework implementation, and Financial Planning and Management. My career is driven by a commitment to sustainable development, innovative policy formulation, and impactful stakeholder engagement. As the State Head of the UNDP-SDGCC unit in Jammu and Kashmir, I lead SDG initiatives, develop Output Outcome Monitoring Frameworks (OOMFs), and align regional budgets with SDG targets. I draft policy recommendations in key sectors like MSMEs, industry, agriculture, tourism, and urban planning, promoting sustainable growth for the Union Territory. Previously, as an Executive Officer at CII, I crafted policy recommendations on sustainability, MSMEs, tourism, health, and technology. Collaborating with industry leaders and government officials, I contributed to strategic frameworks that fostered economic growth in Delhi. At Swaniti Global, as a Policy Associate, I supported former Rajya Sabha MP Vandana Chavan by drafting parliamentary interventions, designing M&E frameworks for livelihood and climate projects, and strategizing CSR fundraising for rural development. I facilitated market linkages for handicrafts and managed stakeholder engagements, showcasing my ability to navigate complex socio-economic landscapes. At the State Institute of Rural Development in Punjab, I developed an M&E framework for integrating SDGs in the planning processes of over 13,000 Gram Panchayats. I led capacity-building programs and operationalized economic projects for self-help groups. My work on the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) scheme included restructuring financial planning and enhancing efficiency. I have received commendations from senior IAS officers in Punjab, underscoring my commitment to sustainable development. My early career as a Finance Analyst at CA Vikash K Kumar and Co provided a foundation in financial planning, budget analysis, and regulatory compliance, invaluable skills for my roles in policy and project management. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Development Management from NIRDPR, where I earned a bronze medal for exceptional performance, a Master's in Commerce from Jamia Millia Islamia, and a Bachelor's in Commerce from St. Xavier’s College. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive impactful change at local, national, and global levels.
