With over 23 years of experience in HR advisory, knowledge development, and research, I am an experienced professional across global management consulting firms, in senior roles. I am also a certified Assessor and part of the team of behavioral experts who conducted virtual Development Centers, self-reflection sessions to coach individuals on learning how personality plays a role at work, sharing developmental recommendations and behavioral tendencies. In 2014, after working in HR advisory for 11 years in a full-time role, I worked independently for the next few years across disciplines. This gave me the opportunity to expand my horizon and add valuable experiences like starting my career in academics, creating leadership training content, coaching women professionals on work-life balance at key inflection points, mentoring women returnees. I returned to a full-time corporate role in 2021. In addition to my corporate role, I am passionate about social entrepreneurship and the founder of the globally recognized, award-winning Ovenderful Mom Bakers Community, a healthy baking women's community that drives societal impact across excluded communities.I am a visiting faculty at institutes primarily in diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. Furthermore, I am an Advisory Board Member of two non-profit organizations, Good Universe and Let's Educate Children in Need, that work on empowering women and children in India. I have also shared my insights as a TEDx speaker and on topical HR issues across recognized publications. I have completed the program for ICF- credentialed Coaching certification and my part-time PhD program. I specialize in coaching for - life, professional growth ( especially for women returning to work or finding career paths) and parenting.
