## About

I’ve spent the last 6\+ years building and scaling operations, retention systems, and learner/customer experiences across EdTech and education ecosystems\. From leading large\-scale programs to designing operational workflows and retention initiatives, one thing became clear to me: most people don’t leave suddenly — the signals were always there\. Companies just failed to detect them in time\. That realization led me to co\-found Forge Experiences and build ERIS — an employee retention intelligence system focused on identifying disengagement patterns, behavioral signals, and workplace risks before attrition happens\. At ERIS, we are working on helping organizations move from reactive HR decisions to proactive workforce intelligence\. Previously, I have worked across: • Program & Operations Leadership • Retention & Engagement Systems • Revenue & Growth Operations • Process Design & Scale • Education & Workforce Ecosystems Beyond startups and operations, I also actively work in the education sector through my family\-run institution in Uttar Pradesh, which has deepened my understanding of systems, people, and long\-term impact at the grassroots level\. Interested in: Employee Experience • Retention Intelligence • HRTech • AI for Workforce Systems • Operations • Behavioral Insights • EdTech • Startup Building
