Professional Experience: |
I worked with two organizations, i.e. BASIX- Academy for Building Lifelong Employability and National Alliance for Social Security. In both organizations, I worked with different teams, which helped me gain perspective on the integrities of working within an organization as a team to create an impact. At NASS, I proactively worked on critiquing policy documents and labor codes that were released after the pandemic . This further progressed to webinars for knowledge exchange.
At B-ABLE I worked as a management Trainee for 3 different teams, namely communications, business development and operations. During this time I was able to work on multiple projects from still till end. This included, creating business proposals, concept notes, networking with stakeholders, creating communication collateral and handling social media. I was also responsible to communicate with the field team handling operations and form reposts based on the experience.
At NASS, I was their National Coordinator, my main responsibility was to coordinate the organisations' project while facilitating between the various stakeholders.
Since this was during COVID, we were able to increase our online reach by creating social media platforms, a website, a knowledge repository and conducting seminars on the new labour codes that were introduced in 2020.
Apart from this I have internship experience of 5 organisations where I worked at different levels to get various outputs, including knowledge repositories, consultancy plans, secondary research and primary surveys.

Education: |
I have a Post Graduate Diploma certificate from Indian School of Development Management in Development Management. ISDM allowed me to broaden my understanding of the social issues prevalent in our society and the challenges we encounter as a result of a number of stakeholders being involved.
ISDM also played a great role in shaping and polishing my skills in marketing, system thinking, research, teamwork, and leadership.
The Leadership centric curriculum at ISDM has helped me to gain confidence and to believe the best in myself and other people through the workshops on problem-based learning and reflective transformative leadership.
The modules that I reflect and used during my work were project projection and implementation, monitoring and evaluation and communication.
I have an academic background of bachelor’s in social work from Nirmala Niketan, during which I worked for different grassroots organizations namely LEARN, Anubhav Mumbai and Dignity Foundation. While being associated with Dignity Foundation, I initiated a dialogue and led client-centric need assessment to understand the gaps that induce disability in the elderly. At LEARN, I carried out rigorous secondary research of the informal workforce and took the role of creating inter organizational collaboration and network. While working at Anubhav Mumbai, I acted as a facilitator between the selected colleges and the organization. The role also included responsibilities of knowledge exchange through value-based sessions and inter college collaborations.
My bachelor’s in social work helped me to gain an in depth understanding of the ground realities and the need of practical solutions.
After completion of my Bachelors, the curriculum at ISDM allowed me to broaden my understanding of the social issues prevalent in our society and the challenges we encounter as a result of several stakeholders being involved. ISDM also played a role in shaping and polishing my skills in marketing, system’s thinking, research, teamwork and leadership.
My exposure at the field level and as well as the management level helps me to recognize the forest view and the tree view.
At present Im pursuing a career accelerator from London School of Economics in data analysis.
