Bio
meher /.
Swamini is more than a leader, she is a mentor. Patient, kind, helpful & appropriately assertive, she has the ability to motivate optimum performance from her juniors whilst setting an example for the same. She has great intuitive problem solving, technical & organisation skills combined with the ability to resonate with team members. She’s helped me grow with constructive feedback and her generosity with knowledge. Her power to delegate work thoughtfully whilst juggling a range of tasks herself make her a pleasure to work for and with. Grateful to have had the opportunity!

Swamini was a valuable addition to the team at Educartis. She supported our mission for almost a year, first as a content writer and then a content lead where she managed a small team of content creators. Always available to support and flexible to learn new skills and tasks, Swamini excelled in her contributions in content creation, market research, social media planning and implementation as well as team management, always exceeding the task given. I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors and I am sure she will be a positive and impactful team member within her career.

I worked with Swamini as Head of Client Delivery at ieDigital. Among her various tasks at ieDigital, Swamini also managed a number of key PMO reporting tasks. Swamini is a very dynamic individual and it was a pleasure to work with her. She was always open to learning and would always ask questions to ensure that her work was appropriate and useful. Swamini will do her utmost to keep to timelines and will go the extra mile if and when required. I would therefore highly recommend Swamini.
