## Headline

Strategy&Consulting Manager, Accenture \| AI Transformation \| Aerospace & Defense \| Ex\-ISRO Scientist · Aerospace Systems\(Rockets\) \| IIM Bangalore MBA

## About

I build strategies at the intersection of AI, operations, and organizational transformation \- helping global clients close the gap between AI ambition and AI execution\. Eight years as an Aerospace Scientist at ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre gave me something no classroom does: I designed and stress\-tested systems where failure isn't a learning moment \- it's a national setback\. I led structural and propulsion work on solid rocket motors for India's human spaceflight program, published and presented work at 7 National/International conferences, and managed multi\-disciplinary engineering teams under hard deadlines\. That background hardwired me to frame problems precisely, pressure\-test assumptions, and communicate high\-stakes decisions to senior stakeholders\. Today, I bring that engineering rigor into Strategy & Consulting engagements at Accenture Global Networks, working with global clients on AI strategy, technology\-led transformation, and process innovation in complex, regulated industries\. I move comfortably from first\-principles analysis to boardroom narrative \- which is where the real leverage in consulting sits\. My edge: Eight years of building high\-stakes systems before entering consulting changes how you read a client problem\. I find that's usually where the useful tension in an engagement comes from\. What I work on: AI strategy · Operational transformation · Process innovation · Technology\-led org design · Change enablement
