Track record

Two mandates, one discipline.

Align technology to institutional strategy, secure real executive sign-off, then deliver it in phases people can actually absorb — in a university, and in global enterprise.

Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence Head of Digital Transformation
Jul 2025 – Present

I own the University's institution-wide OneDigital Program — the strategy spanning Academic ERP, Student Information Systems, and LMS modernization across academic, research, finance, HR, and admissions.

I chair executive governance forums with the Vice Chancellor/Provost's Office, CFO, Registrar, and Deans, converting institutional priorities into a phased roadmap with sign-off on integration, user experience, and automation — while leading the migration of legacy Student Information Systems, Finance, and LMS platforms with minimal disruption to academic operations. I also lead the University's AI strategy end to end: from the discovery above, through agentic AI proofs-of-concept for the student lifecycle, to the institutional data governance and accreditation-compliance frameworks that make the roadmap safe to execute.
