Profile Summary

I have spent 21 years working across corporate finance, entrepreneurship, and community development. My career began in companies like Siemens, Honeywell, Tata AIG, and Cummins, where I worked on finance, planning, and decision-making. After 14 years in the corporate world, I moved towards social impact. I started a social enterprise (Induskargha) and my consulting firm, PAROM Consulting, through which I have worked with PwC and state governments on projects that support rural entrepreneurs, women’s groups, and farmers in Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. Recently, I completed my PhD in Microfinance, where I spent time in villages of Raisen, Madhya Pradesh, studying how self-help groups of women use financial services and how they can connect their skills to market opportunities. This research, along with my field experience, has given me both data-driven insights and lived perspectives on the challenges and possibilities of rural development.
