About
Academic Alchemist | Learning Experience Strategist | Customer Success Catalyst I turn academic chaos into high-impact learning journeys, merging the precision of a network engineer with the heart of an educator. With postgraduate credentials from the UK and Canada, a KPMG-backed instructional design badge, and a resume that spans tech support, academic ops, and executive education, I don't just manage learning, I redesign how it's delivered. Awarded "Customer Champion," I’ve led immersive EMBA experiences where learner delight, operational excellence, and academic rigor collide. Whether it's LMS architecture, faculty enablement or student affairs, I thrive in making education effective, human-centered, and engaging. Analytical yet empathetic, I speak fluent SaaS, education, and storytelling; with an IELTS 8.5 to back it up. From resolving last-minute classroom hiccups to curating strategic academic events, I operate at the intersection of structure and soul. Based in Bangalore, collaborating globally. Let’s connect if you’re reshaping learning for impact or are in the mood for some dad jokes! ;)
