Promoter Director

Jul 2006 – Oct 2020 · 14 yrs 3 mos · Bangalore

Started on the shop floor and officially joined the Board in 2011. Led sales and marketing, built deep relationships with India’s top FMCG brands, and played a key role in a strategic acquisition and two private equity stake sale.
Was part of the leadership team that transformed Manjushree from a family-run operation into South Asia’s largest rigid plastics packaging company. This journey culminated in a $400M buyout by a global PE fund and shaped my belief in India's potential to build globally scaled manufacturing businesses.

My first real-world job and global exposure. I worked with the merchandising team to track sales and margins across categories. It gave me a strong foundation in numbers, discipline, and how everyday business decisions play out across a large retail chain.
