About

I grew up in a remote town in Maharashtra, went to a Tier 2 college & took a lot of unconventional routes to land up a one way flight to Bangalore. All of it for the right opportunity. Opportunity to build something that I truly find joy in & want to spend a considerable portion of my life. Sure - like most of my inner circle of friends, I was ambitious but none of it would happen if Bengaluru did not give me the “Opportunity” I’m grateful to be able to live my dream, build products that impact so many lives through GrowthX & change the ballgame for the ecosystem we call startup India. Having seen how ambition mixed with opportunity is magic, I want you to think of the biggest opportunity we have in-front of us as operators & founders. It’s not just Bengaluru anymore. It’s the India story. How can we make the India story possible? First, access to capital (equity/debt). Second, founders/operators building products that users need/want & are ready to pay for. Third, building the right distribution for the Indian market. The center of it is human capital. The people who will figure this out - founders, marketers, product managers, engineers, analysts & startup operators. They need to be able to build the muscle to raise capital, build products & figure distribution. This is exactly what we are building at GrowthX. In 2023, we made bolder moves to up the game on building tech first human capital, one product launch at a time. And the impact? Over $150 million in annual revenues by companies run by 300+ founders inside GrowthX in 2023. We aim to double this in 2024 & reach $1 billion by 2025. It’s hard but it’s absolutely rewarding for us as a community. If you are curious about our work, here's a rabbit hole. www.growthx.club

Growth Lead

Nov 2019Aug 2021 · 1 yr 9 mos · Greater Bengaluru Area · On-site

  • Scaled top line growth metric massively (on a few million starting denominator). But more importantly, co-built a brand the most affluent want to brag about. Worked with country's best talent across business, product, marketing & brand. Built products/marketing campaigns - most failed, but I got lucky on a few ones that changed orbits for the product. I would have stayed here for a decade if GrowthX hadn’t happened.

Dunzo

Head of Digital Growth

Jun 2018Oct 2019 · 1 yr 4 mos · Bengaluru Area, India · On-site

  • Was part of the team that scaled monthly order numbers from 150K to ~2 million. Larger part of my work involved defining the growth model from scratch, identifying core levers, and doubling down on top of the funnel.
  • Worked across problem statements which involved designing discounting logic, logic demand supply mismatch, referrals, solving for B2B sales automation & and building micro-market profitability across select geographies.
  • If I had to do this again, I will start growth from solving supply first and only then even think of customer acquisition - marketplace models humble you.

Startups

Tried consulting - understood value of specific knowledge

Feb 2018May 2018 · 3 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

  • Took a one way flight ticket to Bengaluru. Landed consulting gigs because of few people who vouched for my proof at work at Sokrati, now, Onlinesales[dot]ai. This allowed me to work across a set of post PMF companies trying to figure out growth in super early stages. I enjoyed build the craft for these founders and tested the waters with consulting.
  • One of the reflection, when you want to get breadth of problems - do consulting. When you want to go deeper into one craft - work in a full time role.
