Sirisha Bhamidipati brings two decades of experience in scaling teams, organisational structuring, and leadership development. A PGDM graduate from IIM Ahmedabad and Fulbright Scholar with a fellowship from Carnegie Mellon University, she has led transformative projects at global organisations including Cognizant Technology Solutions.
At Cognizant, she scaled teams from 60 to 600+ and won major clients by building learning and development initiatives that moved the needle. She was recognised as one of Training Magazine's global top 20 training leaders.
At 13, Sirisha overcame paralysis caused by a rare neurological illness - an experience that taught her the power of deliberate rewiring. She brings that same deliberateness to her work - helping leadership teams close the gap between what they decide, what they communicate, and what actually gets done.
Harish brings 15+ years of entrepreneurial and corporate experience spanning consulting, startups, and technology. He holds an MBA from MDI Gurgaon and has worked with Infosys, BMC Software, and Cognizant Technology Solutions.
Before co-founding Align By Design, he co-founded Choose To Thinq, helping Global Capability Centers like VMware India build cultures that foster innovation. He is a certified Independent Director with deep understanding of corporate governance and board leadership.
Harish hosts the SignalQuest podcast, exploring patterns at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and execution.
Boutique by design. Senior by commitment.
Align By Design is a boutique execution gap advisory practice. We work with PE-backed companies, GCCs, and scale-ups navigating growth, transformation, and complexity.
We’re two partners, one from IIM Ahmedabad, one from MDI Gurgaon, who work directly with leadership teams on their most sensitive alignment challenges. When you engage Align By Design, you work with Sirisha or Harish.
Not a junior analyst. Not a project manager. A senior partner who has seen the inside of organisations at similar stages of growth and knows where the gaps tend to hide.
