What is your role? Describe a typical day in the life.
As a Lead Technical Consultant, I work on Sitecore development projects blending hands-on development, technical leadership, team management, mentoring, and collaboration. My typical day starts with a cup of hot black coffee and stand-up meetings with team members to align on progress, plan the day, and address any blockers.

Alongside guiding my team, I actively engage in development. Whether building features based on requirements, creating custom modules, or resolving critical issues, I’m committed to ensuring smooth, scalable implementations. Coding is a significant part of my role, and I oversee the technical aspects through code reviews, troubleshooting, and solution design to maintain high-quality deliverables. I collaborate closely with project team members to ensure seamless coordination. I also work with senior colleagues and experts, constantly learning from them to enhance my skills. Since our projects often involve international teams, I regularly work with people from different cities and countries to meet shared objectives.
Beyond project responsibilities, I actively engage in Sitecore BU-level and office activities, such as conducting interviews, leading knowledge-sharing sessions, and participating in fun activities that foster both personal growth and team spirit.
Whether big or small, how do you make a difference for our clients, colleagues, communities, or teams?
For clients, I ensure the website features we build through Sitecore not only meet requirements but also provide scalable and innovative solutions to enhance the digital presence and business value. I actively identify and address challenges, suggest improvements, and guide my team to deliver high-quality features on time, building trust and long-term partnerships with clients.
For colleagues and my team, I foster a supportive and collaborative work environment. I mentor team members, help them navigate technical challenges, and ensure workloads are well-balanced. I also encourage continuous learning and professional growth, helping them stay updated with the latest technologies and best practices. Additionally, I am actively involved in the Women in Technology Employee Resource Group, organizing sessions on topics related to women’s empowerment and general professional growth.
Within the community, I run the Sitecore User Group Nagpur with three other colleagues where we conduct monthly technical sessions to share knowledge and foster learning around Sitecore.
What are your proudest accomplishments, personally and professionally? Any milestone moments at Perficient?

In 2017, I started my career with Perficient as an intern after graduating from college. Perficient has played a pivotal role in shaping the professional I am today. All the technology skills I’ve developed have stemmed from the projects I’ve tackled and the talented people I’ve collaborated with. This journey from intern to Lead Technical Consultant has been both rewarding and gratifying, filled with valuable learning experiences every step of the way.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been speaking at two Sitecore User Group Conferences India (SUGCON) in 2023 and 2024 alongside my colleague and mentor. It was a thrilling experience that allowed me to share knowledge with the community, connect with other experts, and represent Perficient in the Indian Sitecore community.
I have also earned three Sitecore certifications: .NET 10 Developer, XM Cloud, and OrderCloud Developer. This strengthened my technical expertise and enabled me to take on more complex challenges. A particularly proud moment was being recognized as a Perficient 2024 Excellence Award winner, a huge honor that acknowledged my hard work and contributions.
What has your experience at Perficient taught you?
I’ve learned the power of continuous learning. A large part of my job is staying updated on new technologies and trends. I spend time exploring new tools, attending training sessions, and earning certifications.

One of the most rewarding parts is showing my family and friends the websites or features I’ve worked on. Seeing their excitement and appreciation makes all the effort feel truly worthwhile, and it’s a great way to share the impact of my work with them. The emphasis on professional development, including obtaining certifications and attending training sessions, has reinforced the importance of staying current in a rapidly evolving industry.
