A career built on expertise
25+ years in quality, sustainability, and governance — from the pulp mill floor to the boardroom.
With extensive experience in business consulting and strategic advisory, I help organisations achieve operational excellence, implement sustainable practices, and drive continuous improvement across all facets of their operations.
My core expertise was forged over 23 years at Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited and Hindustan Newsprint Limited — managing pulp mill operations, quality control, and safety systems across plants in Assam and Kerala.
Since 2019 I have served as an independent consultant and director, bringing that operational depth to MSME sector competitiveness, plastics, water treatment, and board-level governance. I am an alumnus of IIT Roorkee (B.E. Wood Science & Pulp and Paper Technology) and hold certifications in Lean Six Sigma, IMS Internal Auditing, Project Management, and Independent Directorship.
