Profile+ Summary


I am Kripa - a teacher at heart, a student for life, a wife, a mother, and a support system to an ever-growing family at home and at work. I have over a decade of experience and dipped my toes in the ... corporate, CSR, and social sectors. I am personally motivated to make learning joyful, for anyone. Currently, I am Head of Operations at Educate Girls, where we enable over 10k adolescent girls to prepare and pass the 10th exam from Open School System in Rajasthan.

At Educate Girls, I am accountable to
* Develop and implement the overall strategy for the adolescent girls' education program
* Create and manage project plans, budgets, and timelines to ensure the successful delivery of results
* Build and manage a high-performing team, providing guidance and support to ensure they achieve their targets
* Redesign content strategy and operationalize delivery
* Collaborate with stakeholders, including government officials, community leaders, and NGOs, to ensure buy-in and support for the program
* Identify and address program risks and challenges, adapting strategies as necessary to ensure success
* Develop and implement a technology strategy to scale the program effectively
* Monitor and report on program performance and impact, and make recommendations for improvement

Prior to Educate Girls, I was associated with eVidyaloka, Teach for India as a fellow (2013 batch), and earlier to that I worked as a business analyst with Citicorp.
