About

I’m a tech-first thinker with a business mindset, driven by the challenge of building scalable, user-focused solutions. Over the last two years, I worked on developing and implementing Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) at Jio Ads, helping build the AdTech platform that powered IPL 2023. Our system supported 32M+ concurrent viewers and contributed to $330M+ in ad revenue. Alongside engineering and product teams, I translated complex infrastructure into scalable, monetizable features and mentored a 10+ member team through it. At Oracle, I consulted with telecom clients to reduce churn, define KPIs, and deliver customer-centric insights that shaped product and sales strategies. I recently graduated with a Master of Management Studies from Duke Fuqua, where I sharpened my skills in strategy, market analysis, and go-to-market execution. I'm passionate about driving innovation where tech meets business, especially in roles that combine product, strategy, and growth.
