About

I am an MBA Candidate at William & Mary (Fall 2025) with 4 years of experience driving market expansion, go-to-market strategies, and cross-border growth across APAC, Middle East, India, and Europe. My work has spanned from designing GTM playbooks and optimizing sales operations to collaborating with C-suite leaders on market entry and growth plans. At Spendflo, I helped scale Annual Recurring Revenue from $390K to $2.1M, led a team of 8 across multiple regions, and implemented processes that improved pipeline-to-closure conversion from 14.5% to 23%. At Hotelogix, I built outbound sales channels and represented the company at industry events, generating six-figure pipelines and strengthening brand presence in new markets. While GTM strategy has been my core expertise, I am now eager to deepen my capabilities across multiple verticals, including corporate strategy, operations, market analysis, business transformation, and sustainability initiatives to address complex, organization-wide challenges. Pursuing my MBA at William & Mary allows me to uniquely combine business analytics expertise with consulting skills, supported by a global immersion program that builds cross-cultural and international business perspectives. This combination is helping me prepare for strategy-focused roles that demand analytical rigor, creative problem-solving, and global awareness. Outside of work, I have led large-scale events, managed budgets of INR 30L+, and contributed to DE&I and employee engagement initiatives. I’m passionate about architecture, history, and debates, and I stay active through football and badminton.
