Shruti Mehta
I'm an MBA student at XLRI Jamshedpur with over 3.5 years of professional experience in the technology and healthcare domain. I began my career at Optum United Health Group which is a fortune 5 company as a Software Engineer and was later promoted to Senior Software Engineer, taking on greater ownership and responsibilities within the organization. During my tenure, I worked on developing and enhancing applications for OptumRx, while also addressing real-time client and member issues, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and improving application availability and user experience. Prior to this, I also gained consulting exposure through an internship at PwC, where I worked on cybersecurity and digital learning initiatives. Across my professional journey, I have consistently sought opportunities to solve complex problems, create meaningful impact, and contribute positively to teams, while believing that the most effective leadership combines analytical thinking with empathy and collaboration.
