Sunaina Bhattacharya

I am a seasoned tech strategist with nearly a decade of experience driving transformative market strategies, project management, and business development. As a Senior Advisor at Bain & Company, I've led multi-million dollar initiatives, including the integration of Generative AI across consulting, HR, and marketing services, resulting in significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. I co-founded the $6M 'Benchmarking Center of Excellence,' projected to generate $90M in revenue, and developed cloud-based diagnostic tools that identified cost-saving opportunities and created a billion-dollar funnel.

At Ed-tech disruptor Coursera, I played a pivotal role in expanding its international business, particularly in the APAC region. As part of a dynamic team, I helped scale operations, grow the team to over 200 employees, and establish offices in Delhi, Singapore, and Australia. I managed 20+ major client relationships, generating nearly $4 million and impacting 2.5 million learners. My efforts contributed to Coursera’s $4 billion IPO, one of the largest in Ed-tech globally.

My passion for tech and education extends beyond corporate roles. As a director at S&P Partners, I lead AI initiatives connecting underrepresented entrepreneurs with investors. As Strategic Advisor and Investor in financial-tech startup Capital Setu, I am helping revolutionize the access to capital for SMEs. I am also passionate about giving back and have led many social impact initiatives, including a national project that improved sanitation and employment for 1000+ women in Indian villages. As an ambassador of Girls x Tech initiative, I have mentored underprivileged girls to upskill in tech. As a Sign Language Interpreter, I have taught deaf children and built curriculums for deaf schools in India.

I would be happy to share my knowledge and experience with anyone who is excited to drive innovation, embrace digital transformation, and create meaningful social impact through technology.
