Embarking on my professional journey nine years ago as a trainee in HR and counseling, I set forth with little awareness that this field would become my calling to serve a greater purpose. Over time, I discovered a deep aptitude for facilitation, allowing me to guide individuals and teams through transformative experiences. My career has been a dynamic journey, marked by bold transitions from the corporate sector to the development sector—a leap of faith that has shaped both my outlook and impact. Armed with a master’s degree in English from Cotton University and currently pursuing an MBA in HR and Management from Sikkim Manipal University, I have continually sharpened my skills to nurture and empower emerging talent within organizations. Today, I proudly stand as an HR professional dedicated to fostering growth, adaptation, and excellence, believing firmly that HR is the cohesive force that binds an organization together, creating a culture of collaboration and resilience.

Plabita Barman
Executive Trainee (HRM)
Leading life through the dichotomy of “বান” and “বান্ধ”
Having a name that denotes flooding (Plabita/প্লাৱিতা) that had always been a resonance of destruction, it took me one part validation and one part deeper understanding to love the name i am known by. Always intimidated and in awe of the complexities of human relations and exploring them through the projections in books and films (still/moving). Loving and living through my interpersonal relationships, that bring me growth and further understanding, but partly also influenced by Faiz and his poem “Mujh se pehli si mohabbat”, and the idea that “when you have seen the sorrows of the world, you cannot go on pretending none of it matters” and that people can live in love in isolation. Maybe I am a life full of contradictions, but aren’t we all?

I started my journey in SeSTA with village study where I had to stay in village for 21days. Village study helped me understand various cultures ,ethics, tradition & lifestyles of the community. Initially, It was even tough for me to give self introduction in Assamese as I have never practice speaking in early days but as I had to communicate with the community I start practicing in banga singa Assamese & gradually I am learning and somehow communicating.
During the 10 months of journey I have been engaging myself in Various projects like CGF (Covid-19 Vaccination Drive), APPI, CRLR ,Moi Pragati (CRISIL foundation), Kadoorie which is basically on livelihood enhancement.
SeSTA is basically a dynamic Organization where you will able to practice numerous role like supervising, monitoring, counseling , initiating, educating, mediating etc . Thus, It's a family working together for the betterment of the society.

I’m Isha Paul, a passionate social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Tezpur University, which I completed in 2024. My professional journey began with hands-on experience as a Coordinator at the Specialized Adoption Agency in Udalguri, where I worked closely with children and families navigating the adoption process. Over the years, I’ve developed expertise in rapport building, conducting Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) activities, and community mobilization, all of which have strengthened my ability to connect with diverse communities. My interests lie in community development, child welfare, human rights, and social justice, and I am particularly drawn to rural development, where I can apply my skills in adaptability, resilience, and problem-solving. At Sesta as an Executive trainee, I’m eager to contribute to creating sustainable change by empowering communities and advocating for their needs, ensuring that every voice is heard and every challenge is met with a solution.
