EXECUTIVE PROFILE

Strategic Leader with a 10-year trajectory in architecting global institutional frameworks and international partnerships. Specialist in transitioning fragmented administrative models into world-class ecosystems capable of securing elite global accreditations (AACSB, EFMD). A Doctoral Researcher in Consumer Behavior, I leverage ethnographic intelligence and Place-Branding theory to design student-centric growth strategies and cross-border alliances across the Republic of India and international networks. Leveraging a decade of expertise at the intersection of geopolitics, sustainability, and strategic communication, I advise on narrative framing and place-identity for global audiences in Global South contexts. Recently served as Master of Ceremonies and Strategic Lead for the 2026 Diplomats’ Conclave, facilitating dialogues between global ambassadors and institutional stakeholders on NEP 2020 and internationalization.
