Mission: My mission is to contribute in the areas of Organization Development with focus on improving Human Processes, People development, Diversity & Inclusion, Positive Culture Building Initiatives, Performance Coaching and Women Empowerment, thereby engaging in a mutually rewarding partnership with my clients.
My Core Values are: Excellence, Growth, Commitment and Continuous Learning
I am an effective communicator and passionate about offering custom solutions for clients to address their areas of concerns.
Apart from my interest in human behavior, I have a profound passion for exploring the world, delving into new cultures, and engaging with diverse perspectives. I travel at least once a year to broaden my horizons, to unwind and rejuvenate. In my leisure time, I find joy in creating oil pastel sketches and capturing the beauty of nature through photography. My favorite retreats are tranquil beaches and serene natural landscapes, where the only sounds are the gentle rustling of leaves, the songs of birds, and the soothing flow of water.

Thank you, Monica, for your invaluable guidance and support!"
"We are a fast-growing start up and we are very serious about our people’s growth and sound work culture. Monica has supported us with her expertise in the areas of facilitation and people practices whereby she has trained our managers under the First Time Manager Program. I must say that this was a very transformative experience for my staff as I can see a stark difference in their skills and approach towards managing people after the program completion. Monica is extremely passionate as a professional and I would recommend her to services to any business leader who has people development or culture related challenges. I wish her All the Best! "

With her coaching, I was able to create a new future for my organization and take my productivity and outcomes to a newer level. Thank you Monica for being a such a powerful coach.

"First interacted with Monica during my hiring process @ Inspira and the whole process was professional, transparent, responsive and engaging. All attributes that define Monica as a HR leader. The hallmark of a true leader is when the team starts punching above their weight frequently thereby hitting new highs. The "Great Place to Work" 4 years in a row for Inspira is the best testimony to what can be achieved by a small but empowered team with a great leader at the top. Another key trait that I observed is empathy, one of the main things when you work with people. Keeping the workforce engaged all through the pandemic was no mean feat. Its been really great interacting and working with Monica and I wish her all the very best for the times ahead! "
"Monica and I have been colleagues at Inspira for over 7 years. In these 7 years I have seen her bring about a transformation, making HR a business driver at Inspira. She was the guiding force behind Inspira winning ‘Great place to work’ four times in a row. Under her watch Inspira grew from less than 100 people to now more than 1500. She leaves a lasting legacy behind her. "
