Professional Experience:
Senior Education Leader & Project Strategist
Executive Summary
With over 20 years of transformative experience in the education sector, I have established a career defined by the intersection of academic excellence, strategic project management, and innovative curriculum design. My journey has transitioned from foundational classroom teaching to high-level leadership roles at premier organizations like Tech Mahindra Foundation and Bharti Foundation. Currently serving as a Project Manager & Academic Coordinator, I spearhead large-scale in-service teacher training initiatives for NDMC schools, bridging the gap between institutional policy and classroom implementation. I bring a rare combination of hands-on pedagogical expertise and corporate educational strategy, having managed complex project lifecycles, digital content migrations, and multi-stakeholder collaborations across India.
Strategic Leadership & Project Excellence
My tenure in management has been marked by a commitment to scalable educational impact. At the Tech Mahindra Foundation, I orchestrate the academic framework for the ITEI (In-Service Teacher Education Institute), ensuring that educators are equipped with modern pedagogical tools to serve thousands of students within the NDMC ecosystem. This requires a sophisticated balance of administrative oversight, resource allocation, and quality assurance. Similarly, during my tenure at the Bharti Foundation, I served as a Manager of Curriculum, where I moved beyond theory to practical field-based assessment and review. I led cross-functional teams to develop and refine curriculum standards that are both inclusive and rigorous, ensuring that educational content remains responsive to the evolving needs of the 21st-century learner.
Curriculum Innovation & Subject Matter Expertise
A cornerstone of my professional identity is a deep-seated expertise in Instructional Design and Subject Matter Specialization. My years as a Chemistry SME at Educomp Solutions Ltd allowed me to pioneer digital learning through the creation of 'Smartclass' modules and interactive content. This role sharpened my ability to translate complex scientific concepts into engaging, digitized pedagogical formats—a skill that remains vital in today’s hybrid learning environments. From developing comprehensive assessment frameworks to conducting rigorous content reviews, I ensure that every piece of educational material meets the highest standards of accuracy and engagement.
Mentorship, Pedagogy, and Future Outlook
My leadership style is rooted in my origins as an educator. With over a decade of direct teaching and mentoring experience at institutions such as Eklavya Education Foundation and Jain Public School, I possess an intuitive understanding of the student-teacher dynamic. This "ground-up" perspective informs my current strategic decisions, allowing me to design teacher-training programs that are not just theoretically sound, but practically viable. I am a dedicated advocate for continuous professional development, leveraging my diverse background in science, environmental studies, and digital literacy to foster educational environments where both teachers and students thrive. I am now seeking to leverage this 20-year portfolio to drive systemic change and academic innovation at a senior executive level.
