## About

i help mission\-driven companies turn scattered insights into stories that actually move people\- customers, candidates, and communities\. recently, I've completed my master of management at haskayne, university of calgary where I've deep\-dived into everything from business analytics to brand strategy\. my sweet spot? sitting at the intersection of data, storytelling, and human behaviour and figuring out how to make all three work better together\. before this, I worked in ed\-tech and startup leadership, where I advised hundreds of candidates, built partnerships across borders, and streamlined messy CRM systems so teams could finally breathe again\. whether it was optimizing sales funnels at stoa or revamping the candidate journey at mesa, I’ve always been focused on one thing: helping people make better decisions, faster\. i grew up in south india, in a place where ambition often meant playing it safe\. i chose otherwise\. since then, i’ve led international teams, reinvented my career \(twice\), and moved across the world to start over, intentionally\. outside work, you’ll usually find me going down internet rabbit holes, and aggressively liking cat videos while being chronically online\. i believe good questions are better than perfect answers, brainrot content and memes are a love language, and generalists belong in every room\. if you're into being your customer's lawyer even within a company, honest takes on work culture, or cheering on ambitious misfits, we’ll get along just fine\. :\)
