Do you remember Emmet - the Master Builder from the Lego movie? Well, that’s me! Ever since I was introduced to Lego as a kid, I associated with Emmet, the Lego man. I loved building and creating new things out of imagination. My passion for designing things goes back to my school days where I was able to create almost anything from used papers, plastic straws or even candy sticks. I would always carry a blade, a screwdriver and a glue stick!
In my teens, I enrolled in National Cadet Corps and wanted to join the Indian Armed Forces. Was selected for the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun and Officers Training Academy, Chennai in 2006, however was declared medically unfit. My dream to wear the uniform and serve my nation remained unfulfilled. However, when folks whom I mentored made it to the Armed Forces, I found my purpose in life – Teaching! Making complex things simple became my motto.
Today, I am a Learning Enabler in my professional life and an Explorer in my personal life. I love to understand the 'WHY' behind almost everything. This curiosity made me do the Masters in Human Resources with graduation in Computer Sciences.
Because of my passion to understand people, I travelled extensively to deliver workshops across India and also Internationally to US, Brazil, Argentina, Middle-East and almost the entire Asia Pacific. Managed a team of enthusiastic trainers, formulated learning strategies, training budgets, evaluated vendors and proved to be a successful ambassador of L&D. I have represented my organizations in various learning forums and summits. I am a learning strategist, a performance consultant, a coach and a corporate educator.
I love experimenting with a variety of learning methodologies like process facilitation, virtual classrooms, social media and mobile learning. Strongly believe that future world problems could be solved by creative thinking and collaboration.
I love to use design thinking and process facilitation to attain the organization's objectives. Theatre, storytelling, human processes, phototherapy, meta words are a few methods that I use in my facilitation. If you feel these are jargons, drop me a message and I can help you realise how simple yet powerful these techniques are.
My work has fetched me many awards and recognition, including the coveted Top HR 40 under 40 Award in 2018 and a Scholarship from Her Royal Highness Princess Anne for a study tour in Malaysia (2016).
