Nidhi is the Vice President of Business Development and Marketing at Ayna, where she leads the firm's industry narrative and ecosystem platforms — driving thought leadership, CEO/CXO engagement forums, and community initiatives such as CXO immersion programs that connect high-potential industrial leaders with Ayna's network. She owns Ayna's key external channels end-to-end, including research publications, the Titanium Economy Podcast, Ayna Insights webinars, and flagship events such as the G49 Summit (a CEO/board forum in Napa Valley) and RPT (an executive learning program on resilience and performance transformation).
Beyond shaping Ayna's voice across Industrials and Industrial Tech, Nidhi works directly with CEOs, investors, and newly appointed CXOs to build high-trust introductions into the Ayna ecosystem and sustain long-term engagement. She also partners with Ayna's leadership on business development and client engagements across India, the Middle East, North America, and Europe.
Nidhi's thought leadership bridges rigorous analysis with real-world operational relevance. Through her published work and podcast conversations, she explores core industrial priorities — supply-chain resilience amid tariff and trade dynamics, AI-driven operational transformation, and industrial performance and value creation. On the Titanium Economy Podcast, she has hosted conversations with leaders including Mark Sheahan (CEO, Graco), Mark Behrman (CEO, LSB Industries), Paul Miller (Former President, Global eCommerce, Grainger), and Sara O'Rourke (Former Chief of Staff, CHIPS Investment Office) — unpacking how strategy, execution, and ecosystem forces converge to offer listeners actionable perspectives on digitization, operational excellence, and performance under uncertainty.
Prior to Ayna, Nidhi spent 7 years at McKinsey & Company, working across Seattle, Chicago, and Bangalore as an Associate Partner. She was a core member of the North America Industrial Technology practice, leading engagements in margin transformation, cash flow optimization, M&A strategy, and growth acceleration. She co-authored multiple McKinsey publications, including Value Creation in Industrials and McKinsey on Building, Construction & Technology. She holds an MBA from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, and a B.Tech in Civil Engineering from IIT Delhi.
