Based on my background, I am a Policy and Systems Thinker and the Founder and Executive Director of VSDC Group, which includes both a non-profit (Vaishali Skill and Development Centre) and an EdTech startup. My career is defined by bridging the gap between high-level policy design and ground-level implementation, particularly in education, skilling, and inclusion.

Core Professional Identity
Entrepreneurial Leadership: I built VSDC from the ground up, scaling it in just one year to impact 3,000+ beneficiaries across skilling, financial literacy, and menstrual health programs.
Institutional Partnerships: I have successfully empanelled my organization with major bodies, including MSME, ASSOCHAM, and Sector Skill Councils like MEPSC and BFSI.
Strategic Advocacy: At the Pratisandhi Foundation, I led national initiatives as the Strategic Initiatives and Advocacy Lead, where I spearheaded a national whitepaper on Comprehensive Sexuality Education and managed a network of sexual health advocates.
Academic and Research Foundation
Scientific Background: I hold an M.Sc. in Biochemistry from the Central University of Kerala and a B.Sc. in Chemistry, providing me with a strong analytical foundation.
Research Scholarship: I served as a Research Scholar at the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE-TIFR), focusing on science education.
Geopolitical Analysis: I have a specialized interest in geopolitics, having served as an Editor and Researcher for The Geostrata, specifically covering China and the Belt and Road Initiative.
Key Achievements and Honors
National Representation: I represented India's early childhood education sector at the G20 Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) Panel in 2023.
Content Leadership: As Editor-in-Chief at Pratisandhi, I published 200+ articles and was recognized among the Times of India Delhi's Top 100 Blogs of 2025.
Fellowships: I am a Selected Fellow (2026) for the Breaking Barriers Fellowship and was a finalist for the PM YUVA 2.0 Scheme.
I am currently seeking to leverage this mix of grassroots implementation, scientific inquiry, and strategic leadership to drive systemic change in social impact and policy.

Background: Account Director at GCI Health (WPP), a leading healthcare PR firm based in Washington, D.C. I lead corporate communications strategy for global biopharmaceutical clients across oncology and other therapeutic areas — including HCP and consumer marketing campaigns, product launch planning, omni-channel strategy, and managing a 2 million annual budget. I’ve been promoted once per year since joining and now help to lead the agency’s largest account, specializing in oncology product commercialization, launch, lifecycle management and market access. Prior roles include healthcare consulting internship at Purple Strategies supporting pharma trade associations and life sciences firms.

In parallel, I’ve spent the last 2–3 years coaching CrossFit. I instruct classes across all fitness levels and adapt programming on the fly to meet athletes where they are. The part I’ve found most meaningful is the community side — I’ve invested in building community: showing up consistently, learning members’ goals, and creating an environment where people they can arrive as they are. It’s a different kind of leadership than what my day job demands, and honestly one of the more formative things I do outside of work.
Education: B.A. in Economics and Political Science, Bucknell University — 3.89 GPA, Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa. Arabic minor. Studied abroad at the University of Cape Town. Campus leadership included Print Managing Editor of the student newspaper and Peer Writing Consultant.
