About

I’m an emerging operations ER with hands-on experience in scaling blue-collar workforce solutions at the intersection of India’s booming gig economy and infrastructure-led growth. Currently at Avsar HR Services (Founder’s Office – OpsER), I work directly with the COO to design ops strategies for sectors like e-commerce, fintech, and now manufacturing—where India is rapidly positioning itself as a global powerhouse. Previously, I led ground-level GTM and ops execution at Roligt Foods, building a 17-member team and scaling product delivery and institutional sales from scratch—solving real-world challenges like shelf-life constraints and process inefficiencies. My expertise lies in: 🔹 Founder’s Office ops execution 🔹 Gig workforce deployment models 🔹 Process design, governance & scaling 🔹 Infra-readiness strategy (China+1 verticals) 🔹 GTM & cross-functional program delivery I thrive in ambiguity, build systems ground-up, and translate high-level strategy into operational action. Let’s connect if you're solving for scale, complexity, or operations transformation.
