About

I am Japhia Thomas a B.Com (Hons.) + Research graduate from Jesus and Mary college, University of Delhi with experience in business operations, marketing, finance, and research-driven projects. Through internships and leadership roles, I have worked on operational strategy, digital marketing campaigns, MSME advisory support, workflow optimisation, stakeholder management, and financial coordination across diverse industries. I enjoy solving business problems through structured research, process improvement, and data-backed decision-making. My experience includes managing intern teams, supporting large-scale outreach campaigns, streamlining operational workflows, onboarding industry contributors, and contributing to strategic organisational initiatives. Alongside academics, I have led teams, managed event operations, coordinated social impact initiatives, and worked on research projects analysing CSR spending and financial performance in Indian IT firms during the post-COVID period. I am particularly interested in accounts, finance, and operations-related opportunities where I can contribute through analytical thinking, execution, financial understanding, and process-oriented problem solving. I am keen to work in dynamic environments that offer opportunities to learn, optimise business functions, and drive operational efficiency and growth.
