Recognition & Awards
From national stages to institutional celebrations, every award reflects 15+ years dedicated to building communications that matter in Indian education.
Incredibly honoured to receive the Employee of the Year Award at Indian Educational Services (IES) AGM 2026. This recognition means a lot to me, not just as a personal milestone, but as a reflection of the collective energy, dedication, and passion my team pours into every single day.
As Deputy Director of Communications, this award recognises the strategic transformation of how IES communicates, from launching IES Unplugged magazine to building a digital presence that resonates across audiences.
A testament to what happens when an institution treats communication as a strategic function, not a support role.
