I connect students to the right opportunities — and the right people. With experience across Sunstone, Geekster, and Kotak Mahindra Bank, I've spent 5 years building corporate partnerships and creating internship and job pipelines that give students a real head start. I support students through academic and personal challenges, using data to improve the programmes around them. Currently as Associate Director – Corporate Relations at Sunstone, I lead a team focused on one thing: turning student potential into meaningful careers.

I turn student potential into placement outcomes. With over 8 years of experience across placements, business development, and client relations — at organisations including KodNest, UTL Technologies, and EduBridge Learning — I've built the relationships and processes that get students hired. Currently as Associate Director – Placements (South India) at Sunstone, I lead placement operations across the region, connecting students with the right employers and creating pathways that go beyond just job offers. Placements aren't just a metric for me — they're the moment everything a student worked for becomes real.

I help students take their first step into the professional world. With over 4 years in campus placements and training across RKGIT and Vidya Knowledge Park, I've built hands-on expertise in connecting students with the right opportunities. Earlier, my stint at Religare Securities as a Relationship Manager gave me a strong foundation in client relations — something I bring into every employer interaction today. Placements, for me, are personal. Every offer letter represents a student's hard work paying off.

I work at the intersection of education, employability, and industry. With 6+ years in EdTech across placements, corporate relations, and student outcomes, I drive large-scale placement strategies at Sunstone — spanning Tech and Non-Tech verticals including Data Analytics, Cloud, Software Development, and Management roles. My approach is simple: execution with ownership. I build employer partnerships, solve on-ground challenges, and create systems that scale. Because employability isn't just about jobs — it's about placing the right talent in the right roles and creating long-term value for both students and employers.
