I am a Program Manager with 9+ years of experience leading multi-sector development programs across education, child protection, migration, livelihoods, health & nutrition, WASH, and urban development in diverse geographies across India. My work spans the full program lifecycle—from design and planning to operations management, monitoring, donor reporting, and stakeholder coordination.I have managed large, multi-tier field teams, partnered with government systems, NGOs, and donors, and delivered programs at scale in challenging contexts. My experience includes leading initiatives with 900+ volunteers, supporting beneficiaries, and strengthening systems to reach the last mile.Working with organizations such as CARE India, ActionAid Association, Livolink Foundation (Tata Trusts), RMI supported projects, and grassroots NGOs has shaped my leadership approach—values-driven, people-centered, and execution-focused. I bring strong capabilities in operations, budgeting, M&E, team leadership, and cross-sector convergence, while maintaining a deep commitment to human rights, dignity, and equity.I am an effective communicator who strives to bring out the best in teams while continuously learning and evolving as a professional. Beyond work, I enjoy building long-term relationships, music, reading, and reflective conversations over coffee.Feel free to connect or reach out for collaboration, program leadership roles, or a copy of my resume.
