Professional Experience:
A results-driven Program Operations and Impact Analytics professional with over 2 years of hands-on experience across the development sector, spanning NGO program delivery, CSR consulting, and social impact mandates. Having worked with four organizations across five states in India — including Room to Read, Pratham InfoTech Foundation, Ashray Akruti, and Social Lens Consulting — I bring a well-rounded understanding of both ground-level program implementation and senior-level strategic reporting.
My core strength lies in end-to-end financial governance and program monitoring. At Room to Read, I independently managed Cash Forecasts and Budget Outlooks across 5 states, conducting Budget vs. Actual (BvA) variance analysis on a monthly basis and escalating deviations with actionable recommendations to senior leadership. This ensured 100% donor compliance and timely fund utilization across multi-state education programs. At Pratham InfoTech Foundation, I maintained MIS dashboards and program trackers across multiple field locations, monitoring expenditure against approved budgets and supporting quarterly reporting cycles for over 12 months.
On the Monitoring and Evaluation front, I have designed and deployed needs assessment frameworks, baseline surveys, and program evaluation tools for CSR mandates at Social Lens Consulting. I have conducted mixed-methods research — both primary and secondary — and led field teams across project locations, ensuring data quality and on-time delivery. I have reviewed and quality-checked over 20+ Monthly Progress Reports (MPRs) and Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) across organizations, ensuring full compliance with donor and country office reporting standards aligned with OECD DAC criteria and LFA frameworks.
My technical capabilities in data and MIS are actively growing. I have built interactive Power BI dashboards using DAX, data modeling, and KPI reporting to translate complex datasets into client-ready visual insights. I am proficient in Advanced Excel — including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data validation, and dashboard design — and skilled in SQL (MySQL) for data querying and database management. These tools have directly supported financial tracking, workforce utilization monitoring, and program performance reporting for senior stakeholders and donor agencies.
Beyond data and finance, I have demonstrated strong stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills. At Ashray Akruti, I coordinated directly with State Government counterparts for project approvals, led awareness campaigns for hearing-impaired learners, and developed digital learning modules reaching underserved communities in Hyderabad. I have liaised with NGOs, CSR funding partners, and implementing agencies across sectors including education, disability inclusion, and community development.
Currently pursuing a Diploma in Data Analytics and Machine Learning at IT Vedant, Navi Mumbai, I am building skills in Python, R, and Machine Learning fundamentals — with a clear goal of strengthening evidence-based program design and predictive analytics in the development sector.
With an MSW specializing in Community Development from Rajagiri College of Social Sciences and a Bachelor's in Rural Development from Visva Bharati University, I combine strong academic grounding with practical, on-ground experience. I am actively seeking roles in Monitoring and Evaluation, MIS Analytics, CSR Program Management, or Program Operations where I can contribute meaningfully to data-driven social impact.
