I'm Ruchira, a PMP-certified fractional project & operations leader. I work with founders and teams when growth begins to strain execution: missed timelines, blurred priorities, margin pressure, and leaders pulled back into delivery.
Over 7+ years, my experience has spanned early-stage startups, global agencies managing cross-border accounts, and enterprise environments including Accenture and HCL, with delivery exposure across 13+ international markets (India, US, UK, EU, Dubai, Spain).
I've shipped products from zero-to-one, rescued mid-flight delivery for agency clients, and built profitability dashboards that exposed hidden revenue leakage.
"I don't believe in adding more processes for the sake of it. I bring just enough system, predictability, and sanity, whether that's setting up better sprint rituals, cleaning up Jira, or helping founders prioritize what actually matters."
What I'm good at
A diagnosis of what's working, what's breaking, and what's missing. Interviews, tooling review, capability mapping, quick wins.
Implementation of priority-ordered items from the initial report. Process redesign, tooling changes, comms rhythms, ownership mapping.
Ongoing strategic ops and delivery leadership, part-time. Fractional Head of Delivery / PMO. Mentorship for internal PMs or leads.
A fixed-price diagnostic of what's working, what's breaking, and what's missing.

Delivery exposure across
Ruchira brought structure to chaos. Within weeks our team had clearer priorities, sharper sprints, and a sense of calm we'd been missing for months.
The audit alone was worth the engagement. She surfaced things we'd been stepping over for over a year and gave us a roadmap we could actually act on.
Practical, sharp, and refreshingly low on jargon. Ruchira fixes things in the system instead of layering more process on top.
A fractional project and operations leader is a senior delivery expert who works part-time with a company, providing the leadership of a full-time Head of Delivery or PMO without the full-time cost. They set up delivery systems, run projects, and bring predictability to scaling teams.
Engagements start with a fixed-price Ops Audit Sprint at $999 (2 weeks). Project-based delivery support and the fractional Strategy & Operations Lead retainer are priced after a free discovery call, with 3-month and 6-month minimums respectively. 1:1 mentoring is $99/month.
When growth begins to strain execution: missed timelines, blurred priorities, margin pressure, or founders being pulled back into day-to-day delivery. It's common for teams scaling past 15 people without a dedicated delivery leader, or those preparing for Series B and investor due diligence.
A fixed-price, 2-week diagnostic: leadership and team interviews, a review of tools, rituals and capability gaps, quick-win identification, a prioritised roadmap across people, process and tools, and a 90-minute readout session with your leadership.
