Business Systems & Product Leader | ERP, AI & Digital Transformation | Data Automation & AWS | Strategy to Deployment

One person who covers requirements, build, deployment, migration, training and adoption — hire the whole stack, or just the piece you're missing. Eight-plus years turning institutions that run on spreadsheets and queues into ones that run on systems people actually trust.

What she's shipped

Against a hard deadline

Six months to an accreditation-ready ERP

Situation: NAAC accreditation required a working ERP — academics, exams and LMS — implemented fast, with no room to slip.

Did: Owned stakeholder and vendor management end to end, trained every user group, delivered the TCS ERP implementation in six months.

Result: The university received its NAAC accreditation.

Fifteen vendors, one call

Choosing — and executing — the ERP switch

Situation: Leadership wanted off an expensive contract and onto something leaner, without yet knowing what that should be.

Did: Evaluated 15 ERP platforms, SAP and Salesforce included, module by module with every end-user group, then led selection of Bloomfield Innovation's uniERP and the full migration.

Result: Migration from TCS to uniERP completed successfully within one year.

Payroll, done right at scale

800+ employee database migration & payroll implementation

Situation: Payroll needed to move systems without breaking a single paycheck — DA, HRA, income tax and TDS all calculated correctly from day one.

Did: Migrated the full employee database and built the statutory calculation logic into the new system, end to end — paired with an automated attendance system feeding directly into payroll.

Result: A smooth transition for payroll across the organization, with statutory calculations and attendance-linked pay handled correctly from launch.

800+employees migrated
Getting the number that matters right

3,000-student exam data migration, accurate CGPA

Situation: A student's CGPA is the one number that follows them for life — migrated exam data has to be exactly right, and compliant with the governing academic regulations.

Did: Migrated exam records for 3,000 students into the new ERP, running detailed analysis against Academic Regulation requirements — curriculum structure, exam tree, passing criteria, grace rule — across multiple governing bodies: UGC, ICAR, NCISM, INC and COA.

Result: Correct CGPA calculation at scale, validated against every applicable regulatory body's rules.

Seeing risk before results day

Predicting at-risk students with a Random Forest AI/ML model

Situation: By the time low CGPA shows up in results, it's too late to help.

Did: Analyzed academic regulations across 10 departments and 500 faculty, mapped attendance across 10,000 scheduled classes, and built a Random Forest AI/ML algorithm to flag students likely headed for a low CGPA.

Result: Departments could direct academic support to the students who needed it — before the semester ended, not after.

From queue to login

Automating the Migration & Bonafide certificate workflow

Situation: Students queued in person at the Examination & Records office for routine certificates.

Did: Led requirements and functional design, working directly with the TCS developer team through build and testing.

Result: Students apply and download from their own login; the office approves digitally. Queues and paperwork dropped sharply.

Hire the whole package — or just the part you need

Most consultants own one slice. This is requirements through deployment, in one person — so you can bring her in for the full build, or drop her into exactly the gap you have right now.

Full-cycle ERP ownership

Requirements → BRD → build → deployment → adoption. End to end, one point of accountability.

Data migration, done clean

Payroll, HR and academic records migrated with the statutory logic — DA, HRA, income tax, TDS — built in correctly, not patched after.

Vendor evaluation & selection

Module-by-module comparison across real end users — not a slide deck of features.

Analytics & prediction

Attendance and performance models — flagging at-risk students before results, not after.

Change management & adoption

The unglamorous part that makes or breaks a rollout — training end users until they trust the system.

Product management, embedded
