Dr. Chandrashekar Dikshit DS, (h.c.)

Program Manager

With about 20 years of experience in Project Management, Risk Mitigation, Leadership, and Customer Engagement, I have built a career focused on driving strategic outcomes and organizational growth.

I hold an MBA in Biotechnology Management from NIBM and a certification in Strategic Management from the prestigious IIM Kashipur. These academic foundations have shaped my ability to navigate dynamic corporate environments with clarity and purpose.

Professionally, I have excelled in leading high-impact project management and corporate leadership roles, honing my skills in risk management and strategic decision-making. My journey reflects a blend of operational excellence and leadership insight.

I am proud to be the recipient of the Bharat Vibhushan Award—a testament to my contributions as an Emerging Writer of the Year. Additionally, I am a Certified Independent Director through the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA), Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) IDDB-NR-202309-051646. These milestones underscore my commitment to corporate governance, ethical leadership, and delivering value in boardroom decision-making.

Beyond my corporate career:

• At Twilight Education Consultant, I’ve streamlined educational programs and implemented digital marketing strategies to maximize impact.
• As a Trustee & Secretary at Shri Shivarudra Balayogi Maharaj Trust, I actively contribute to spiritual and social initiatives that resonate with my values.
• My passion for organic agriculture led me to pioneer advancements in Paddy cultivation, aligning sustainability with innovation.
• Served as a Board of Studies Member at Surana Educational Institutions, where I was committed to enhancing curricula to meet evolving industry trends, ensuring students receive holistic and future-ready education.

My journey spans leadership, strategy, and governance, with a focus on creating lasting impact across corporate, social, and educational sectors. I look forward to connecting with professionals and organizations passionate about driving governance excellence, risk resilience, and sustainable growth.
