'padhai' is a Hindi word that means 'to study' or 'to read'. I'm [Pulkit Goyal](https://www.linkedin.com/in/goyalpulkit1997/). Welcome to my website. I am interested in education, technology, finance, and fitness. I [write](Writing2.md) about these topics on this website. I became interested in instructional design when I was a management consultant at The Boston Consulting Group. Simplicity is my instructional design style. I like to find faster ways to do useful things, and identifying and eliminating duplication and redundancy. As a learning and development professional As a management consultant, my keen analytical skills help my identify bottlenecks and design solutions to overcome such bottlenecks. I bring analytical rigor and project management expertise to learning and development. My greatest strengths are By identifying and implementing technological solutions to solve problems, I design learning experiences that are data-driven and boost workflow efficiency.

I suggest starting with my [[One Terminal, Countless Constraints - When a $30,000 Tool Goes Unused|very first instructional design experience]], where I designed an asynchronous experiential training program, overcoming several operational constraints. >Most falsely assume online education is overflowing with data. How did I **create my own data** to uncover hidden patterns, make better design choices, and improve learner outcomes? >Designing online programs means doing a lot of things again and again. How did I use **AI and automation** to reclaim time, streamline design, and refocus teams on what truly matters? >At BCG, a $30,000 tool was collecting dust. How did I achieve a **167% increase** in usage by turning severe limitations and low adoption into a success story? >Asynchronous discussions feel lifeless for learners while synchronous discussions can be unmanageable for instructors. How did I **make synchronous discussions manageable**? >When tech issues strike at midnight, every second counts. How did I **cut wait times to zero** and provide _**instant, reliable support**_? >Asynchronous learning offer freedom but feels isolating. How did I make **asynchronous, self-paced learning more engaging** without any human interaction? >Templates make development fast but also make learning predictable and dull for students. How did I turn static online courses into engaging, dynamic learning experiences that learners actually enjoy?
