Bio Summary

Hi! I am a management consultant with over a decade and a half of functional experience in market research, strategy development and business support.

I have worked across several sectors, including healthcare, education, property development, research, public policy, infrastructure, etc. within my functional expertise.

I enjoy variety and hence, land up working a wide range of businesses, I believe this also helps bring together best practices and gives me a keen eye to appreciate smaller nuances.

Currently, am pursuing independent consulting work, both online and offline.

I deeply appreciate the quantum of effort and complexities that go into not just starting/ growing a business, but sustaining that growth as well. I'd love to help support you in such a journey! For now, these are the areas that I can broadly assist you with:

Market entry strategy/ Pre-feasibility analysis Conceptualization and Business Planning Program management support for scaling journeys, esp. 0-1x Partnerships Business Proposal/ Pitch decks

I take adequate time in the initial/ kick-off meetings to understand in detail the requirements and expectations of the client and establish a clear approach to execution. Delivering value and not just a service to all my clients is a priority for me. I also strongly believe that there is something new that I get to learn from every assignment I do, whether it is limited scope routine web research or a long term retainer project.

As a good to know, in my volunteering experience, I have worked with a few not for profit entities for transcription work as well as coaching sessions with other social enterprises. I am also a certified Lamaze instructor and teach child birth education to expecting couples, as a give-back to the community where I live.

Happy to talk about anything else that you'd like to know!
