It all started with a career switch
In July 2023, I took a break and started thinking of taking a big move into my career. Giving a thorough look over the last decade of my career, I realized that the majority of my skills & knowledge were already aligning with the traits of a Project Manager, an ascension nowadays. Having worked majorly on client relationship building, business acumen, team coordination and customer service delivery, I inferred that Project management was the string connecting these dots.
After lots of delving and exploration, I decided to do the hard yards. In August 2023, I completed my Scrum Master certification to get myself acquainted with agile lifecycle & methodologies, and parallelly completed Project Management Foundation courses from LinkedIn.

I consider myself as a professional who works with a coalesce of building inter-personal relations, team cohesiveness & co-working, continuous improvement. With my customer-centric mindset, one can see me as someone who is well-versed in engaging into relationship & trust building when it comes to customer needs, service & satisfaction, parallelly curating project plans and schedules, managing the scope of work, cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and resources.
