About
As a passionate Talent Development leader, I bring over a decade of experience in designing impactful learning ecosystems that align talent strategy with business outcomes. At RBL, I lead enterprise-wide initiatives that accelerate leadership development, build future-ready capabilities, and embed a culture of continuous learning across functions. With academic grounding from IIM-K, SLS-Pune, and IHM Mumbai, and practical expertise in assessment, learning design, and capability building, I specialize in tailoring L&D solutions that unlock performance. I enjoy crafting pathways for high-potentials and frontline talent alike—ensuring development is not just a program, but a lived experience. What drives me is building people-centric cultures where growth is strategic, learning is embedded, and talent feels seen.
