Prior to joining Indwoke, he served as Lead – HR Analytics and Excellence at Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL), where he led HR’s participation in the Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM) assessment and played a key role in helping the organization achieve its highest score as a first-time participant.
