I am passionate about technology-enabled social change, and in 2009, I co-founded B2R (Business-To-Rural, www.b2r.in), a for-profit social enterprise, with a belief that social goals and business objectives can be strategically hard-wired together; that inclusive livelihood creation, integrated rural development and business value creation can go hand-in-hand. Since eleven years, B2R is implementing livelihood creation in rural India in an Impact Sourcing – rural BPO model in Uttarakhand (and recently, in Mexico too).
My professional experience over twenty seven years is multi-disciplinary: ranging in Business Process Management, IT-Software program management, and Quality Systems &Process Consulting – with domestic & international exposure in business unit and P&L management, program & engagement management, and project consultancy & training – in manufacturing & service sectors.I am an Industrial Engineer (1991) and a Masters in Engineering (Systems & Information) from BITS Pilani (1993).
