Regional Head- South Asia
2015 - 2024
Rotary International South Asia Office
As CEO and Director on the Board of Rotary International South Asia Office, I had the privilege of leading one of Rotary’s largest regional operations, covering seven countries — India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Pakistan. My role integrated strategic leadership, operational excellence, and organizational transformation, ensuring Rotary’s global mission translated into meaningful regional impact. I provided strategic direction and governance leadership to the regional office, overseeing a multidisciplinary team of 50 professionals and driving excellence in service delivery, member engagement, and program execution. Working closely with Rotary International’s global leadership, I helped align strategic priorities with humanitarian, educational, and community development initiatives across South Asia. A major focus of my tenure was organizational and people transformation. I led functional restructuring to strengthen efficiency, accountability, and collaboration, and introduced performance management systems, capacity-building programs, and leadership development initiatives that enhanced capability and built a culture of shared ownership and continuous learning. Under my leadership, the South Asia Office was certified as a “Great Place to Work” for four consecutive years — a recognition of the trust, inclusion, and engagement embedded in our culture. The role demanded a blend of visionary leadership and pragmatic execution, balancing diverse stakeholder interests, complex governance structures, and large-scale budgets. I took pride in nurturing a workplace driven by purpose, professionalism, and empathy, reflecting Rotary’s core values of service, integrity, diversity, and fellowship. This nine-year journey was one of deep professional fulfillment and transformation — for the organization, the communities we served, and for me personally as a leader dedicated to creating positive, lasting impact.
Vice-President- Human Resources
2014 - 2014
Reliance Foundation
As Head of Human Resources at Reliance Foundation, the CSR and development arm of Reliance Industries Limited, I played a key leadership role in building the HR architecture and people systems for one of India’s largest and most respected philanthropic organizations. My mandate was to design and implement HR strategies that enabled the Foundation’s mission of fostering inclusive growth and sustainable development across India. In this role, I led the end-to-end HR function, covering talent acquisition, performance management, learning and development, compensation, and organizational culture. I worked closely with the CEO and leadership team to ensure that HR practices were aligned with the Foundation’s strategic priorities and operational realities across diverse programs in rural transformation, education, health, sports for development, and disaster response. I introduced structured recruitment frameworks, competency-based performance management systems, and learning interventions that enhanced effectiveness, transparency, and engagement. I also spearheaded initiatives to enhance employee well-being, inclusion, and workplace culture, ensuring that the Foundation’s people policies reflected its deep commitment to care and social responsibility. This experience at Reliance Foundation was deeply enriching — it allowed me to combine the rigor of corporate HR with the purpose and compassion of social development. It strengthened my belief that sustainable organizational impact is built on people-centric leadership, trust, and continuous learning.
