About

As a passionate advocate for student success and industry collaboration, I specialize in bridging the gap between academia and the corporate world. With 15+ years of experience in corporate engagement, placements, and marketing leadership, I focus on creating meaningful connections that drive both career outcomes for graduates and growth for organizations. Currently, as Manager – Corporate Engagement & Placement at Indus Business Academy, I lead strategic initiatives that prepare students for the workforce, cultivate strong corporate partnerships, and ensure impactful placements and internships. My approach blends data-driven insights, proactive mentoring, and relationship-building to deliver measurable results for students, employers, and the institution alike. Previously, I served as Head of Marketing & Co-Founder at Shaadi Baraati, where I built integrated marketing strategies, strengthened brand visibility, and developed high-performing teams. Prior to that, at Matrimony.com, I worked as Senior Associate Manager, leading operations and enhancing customer satisfaction. These roles sharpened my expertise in strategic planning, quantitative analysis, digital marketing, and alumni relations. Committed to continuous growth, I hold certifications in Agile, E-Commerce, and Career Development, which complement my hands-on leadership experience. I’m always eager to connect with professionals and organizations who are passionate about talent development, industry-academia partnerships, and building opportunities that shape future leaders
