About

I see the world as a puzzle — and my job is to find the bigger picture.

"The best breakthroughs come from questioning inherited assumptions, connecting dots others overlook, and building things that actually change what people can do with their lives."

I'm a licensed pharmacist, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and MBA-trained strategist with over a decade of experience at the intersection of health, pharmacy, and technology. I founded Pavithra Consulting to help organizations cut through complexity, build better clinical programs, and bring bold ideas to life.

My work spans pharmaceutical manufacturers, health technology companies, retail pharmacy networks, and academic institutions. I bring clinical depth, strategic breadth, and a genuine passion for innovation to every engagement.
