Building trust across shared context
Getting VISIBLE, CONNECTED and COUNTED
Co-designing AI - Education pilots to inform evidence-backed AI policy advocacy.
Supporting curriculum revision.
Training educators in low-resource settings.
Making global AI Governance truly global.
I grew up across multiple states in India.
In 2012, transitioned from its fast-paced,
ambiguous, frugal, innovative environment to a
precision-oriented Swiss culture.
Along the way, I worked with education, TVET, and
edtech experts from Myanmar, Bangladesh,
Kenya and Kosovo.
Today, I am trying to bring education and AI
community in the Global South together to
connect field realities into evidence-backed,
AI Governance – truly global, truly inclusive, from
the ground up.
Integrate AI tools into blended-learning programmes for basic education, higher education and TVET - from concept through classroom rollout and teacher training.
Embed AI competencies into national skills standards for basic, higher and vocational education and equip trainers.
Design, plan, launch, monitor and analyse context-appropriate AI pilots to measure the scale of impact – generate evidence for AI policy advocacy.
Practical, applicable knowledge through tailored training sessions, hands-on mentoring for individuals and teams, and ongoing support that prepares them to maintain and expand projects independently.
My journey in innovation and technology integration began over a decade ago, but the seeds of my passion for leveraging technology to make a difference were planted much earlier. Every role I’ve taken on has added a layer of experience, insight, and skills that fuel my drive to create scalable, impactful solutions.
Zabai AS, Norway
January 2023 – April 2024
My recent role as a Business Development Lead took me to Dhaka and Yangon, where I spearheaded the development of an AI-integrated digital learning platform. The aim? To bridge the market skills gap in Myanmar's emergency context. It was a project that required innovation, collaboration, and, most importantly, a vision to provide over 1.5 million young people with the tools they needed to build their futures. Securing $0.4 million in funding within a year, I worked closely with Helvetas, UNICEF, and Save the Children to bring this platform to life in low-tech environments, aligning the technology with local demands. Through market research, needs assessments, and careful planning, we delivered a product that truly met the needs of the people it was designed for.
Swisscontact, Switzerland
June 2021 – July 2022
In Dhaka, I took on the challenge of scaling Bangladesh's first open-source e-learning platform for primary healthcare workers. This project wasn’t just about implementing technology; it was about expanding healthcare access to rural communities who needed it the most. By fostering collaboration on GitHub, we created a platform that could be continuously improved by the community. Strategic contract negotiations reduced procurement costs by 20%, allowing us to maximize the impact of the project. From publishing Terms of Reference for digitalization projects to guiding mobile app development for youth training, I ensured that we aligned technical solutions with the real-world needs of the communities we served.
Hirslanden AG & University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland
July 2016 – May 2021
In Switzerland, as a Product Manager, I took on the challenge of driving digital innovation in a healthcare setting. Working across hospital departments, I integrated IT service management solutions that boosted operational efficiency by 30%. The goal was clear: improve patient care by streamlining processes. To ensure seamless functionality, I worked closely with IT teams, business units, and vendors, achieving a 99.99% service availability rate. Leading requirements gathering sessions and overseeing the deployment of software enhancements, I ensured that the new solutions aligned perfectly with the hospital's IT infrastructure. But more than that, it was about change management—building capacity and ensuring that staff embraced these new tools and processes.
Zimmer GMBH, Switzerland
Jan 2014 – July 2014
As a trainee at Zimmer GMBH, I worked on the implementation of a prosthetic joint registry web application. My role involved creating a toolkit and documenting best practices that were tailored to meet the needs of diverse markets, specifically in Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands. It was a unique challenge to tailor a solution that met regulatory and user requirements in different regions, and I thrived on ensuring the solution was both functional and user-friendly. Post-implementation, I supported training initiatives that empowered users to adopt the new systems confidently.
2A Capital Advisory & Symphony Healthcare Technology, India
March 2010 – June 2012
Before my work in Europe, I was fortunate enough to lead projects across India and Africa, where I managed the deployment of digital solutions in healthcare settings. At Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi, for example, I facilitated workshops to gather the necessary product specifications, helping the hospital transition from manual to automated billing, procurement, and logistics systems. This resulted in over a 40% improvement in billing accuracy, positioning the hospital for a full digital transformation. I also led a process redesign that enhanced workflow efficiency, with staff adapting to the new digital systems in under three months—a remarkable achievement for such a large organization.
I believe in the power of innovation and technology to transform human lives. From healthcare to education, and across diverse regions, I’ve had the privilege to lead projects that drive real, sustainable change.
But every great project starts with a conversation. Whether you’re looking for an innovation specialist to pilot and scale your next big idea, a technology integration expert to streamline your operations, or a consultant to help you solve complex implementation challenges, I’m here to help!
Let’s discuss how we can work together to bring ideas to life, create solutions that make a difference, and shape the future.
