Monishka Singh Chauhan
I'm an MBA student at XLRI Jamshedpur with close to 4 years of work experience at Boston Consulting Group. I earned my B.A. (Hons) in English from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, University of Delhi, where I held multiple leadership roles across literary and NCC societies. I began my career at BCG as a Human Resources Trainee and later moved into an Asia-Pacific Onboarding and CDC role, leading bi-annual Career Development Committee meetings for the Platinion Consulting team as CD Team Chair. Most recently, as a Global Compliance Analyst, I conducted due diligence on 800+ commercial opportunities worldwide, partnering with Legal and senior stakeholders to shape high-stakes go/no-go decisions. At my core, I lead with rigor, decide with calm, and believe empathy is what makes either count.
