About

I’m the Founder & CEO of Emiza, a third-party logistics (3PL) provider built for India’s new-age D2C and consumer brands. With over 20 years in logistics and supply chain leadership, I saw firsthand how traditional 3PLs focused on automotive and large enterprises—leaving a clear gap for multi-channel, multi-client fulfilment designed for modern retail. In 2016, I founded Emiza with a simple but ambitious vision: to make high-quality warehousing and last-mile services accessible to brands of all sizes. From one warehouse and two clients, we’ve scaled to 27 warehouses in 14 cities, serving over 150 brands in fashion, beauty, personal care, food, electronics, and more. Our team of 2500+ has processed over 54 million B2C orders and 76 million B2B units in just two years. We've raised over ₹170 crores across Seed, Series A, Series B, and a recent ₹100 crore Series C round to fuel our expansion. My goal is to keep expanding our footprint, scaling our technology, and doubling revenue in the next two years—all while staying PAT-positive. I’m passionate about building systems that enable consumer brands to grow with confidence, without worrying about logistics. Outside of work, you’ll find me traveling, staying fit, or spending time listening to music and exploring the technology behind it.
