With my exceptional interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and a strategic business mindset, I excel at fostering collaboration across diverse stakeholders, including government bodies, vendors, and cross-functional teams. With a track record of consultancy for high-stakes IT and hardware projects, I am adept at navigating public procurement norms, building strategic partnerships, and ensuring compliance with DoE, GFR, GeM, and CVC guidelines.
