Background

About Richa Agarwal

I've always been stimulated by the idea of working across industries and geographies, all while creating a meaningful impact. Turning my ideas into action, I've exhibited a demonstrated history of working in the field of Strategy and Consulting where I get to not just do exactly that, but also see the impact of my work, first hand. My latest stint with legacy educational institutes introducing disruptive models gave me a chance to work with Board members, Founders and donors to build from the ground up and grow these transformative institutions. Having worked with diverse industries and organizations, I continuously thrive to apply my learnings in my everyday work. As a Managing Partner at The Strategy Boutique (Emerald Group), I gained experience working with stakeholders and thought leaders across Europe, Africa, South America and Asia from various sectors - healthcare, waste management, tech, sustainability, and sports, among others. Be it insights and organizational learnings from one of the biggest corporates of the world and the technical know-how of analytics from my experience at American Express or through my role as a Business Strategist at Josh Talks, one of India's largest and fastest growing start-ups, I have been fortunate to experience diverse set ups, learn and grow! Through an array of engagements and projects, I have worked with clients like Facebook, UNDP, UN Women, ILO, Genpact among others to conceptualize and curate solution oriented social impact projects. Working directly with Government Ministries and Development sector organisations across Africa, Middle East and Asia, further gave me deeper insights and intensified my passion for healthcare, development and impact. At the same time, working with successful businessmen and young entrepreneurs in innovative fields from 3D food printing and innovation to education - continuously feeds my growth mindset and strengthens my ability to combine public and private sector to generate large scale and effective results. My experience and ventures have helped me explore and continue to grow in a wide array of subjects including entrepreneurship, public policy, women empowerment, media and marketing, business expansion, market entry and sustainability, among others, while generating growth for all involved, and I hope to always stay a keen learner.
