Professional Experience:
Worked as a development professional with over 4 years of hands-on experience in livelihood promotion, enterprise management, and large-scale programme implementation. I currently serve as CEO-In-Charge of Annapoorna Jeevika Food Products Producer Company Ltd. under BRLPS, and also work as a Young Professional at the State Project Management Unit, Patna. In this role, I lead the overall strategy, operations, and financial management of a women-owned producer company engaged in institutional food services and community-based livelihood enterprises. I oversee the expansion and smooth functioning of Didi Ki Rasoi across multiple government departments and institutions, ensuring statutory compliance, quality standards, efficient procurement systems, and sustainable business operations. My work involves close coordination with the Government of Bihar departments, district administrations, and institutional partners, while continuously mentoring SHG women and staff to build strong, self-sustaining, and scalable enterprises.
With Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society (BRLPS – JEEViKA), I have worked across Block, District, and State levels as a Young Professional, Block Project Manager, and District Thematic Lead (Livelihoods). During this period, I implemented key livelihood programmes such as the Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP) and Satat Jeevikoparjan Yojana (SJY), supporting rural families and entrepreneurs in establishing and strengthening sustainable livelihood opportunities. I led the planning and execution of major livelihood initiatives, including Didi Ki Rasoi and Didi Ka Silai Ghar, while mentoring and managing large multidisciplinary field teams across districts. My responsibilities included programme planning, budgeting, monitoring, documentation, and stakeholder coordination with NRLM, banks, and line departments. I also contributed strategic and policy-level inputs to strengthen programme implementation, improve operational efficiency, and enhance long-term impact.
My early professional experiences with Aga Khan Rural Support Programme – India, SEVA Mandir, and Bihar Horticulture Development Society helped me develop a strong grounding in grassroots development, impact assessment, and participatory research. I worked on skill and livelihood mapping, socio-economic assessments, and policy-oriented studies, which strengthened my ability to design evidence-based and community-centered interventions.
With academic training in Development Management and a deep commitment to inclusive and sustainable growth, I focus on building practical, scalable, and people-centered solutions. My work is driven by the goal of strengthening community institutions, enabling women’s economic empowerment, and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities that generate long-term social and economic impact.
