About

AVP, Category Planning & Buying | DaMENSCH Apparel Private Limited I have been working with DaMENSCH as an Assistant Vice President for the past 2 years. I lead a team of 10 spread across functions of category planning, buying, fashion design and catalog management. I hold strong expertise in revenue & growth planning, category management, inventory forecasting and I have developed a keen interest in the overall D2C space over the 3 years I have spent with DaMENSCH. Prior to my AVP role at DaMENSCH, I was working with the company as a Chief of Staff where I assisted the founder in projects across marketing, sales, growth, pricing and inventory. Prior to DaMENSCH, I was working for Auctus Advisors as a Management Consultant for a year. I was involved on a project related to Airport IT Managed Services in India. I worked on multiple financial models, assessing manpower costs and scheduling, bidding for 2-3 airports etc. during my tenure. I am a keen Aviation Geek and thus this falls very much in line with my passion. I have been an excellent and consistent performer, throughout my school days & scored 375 JEE All India rank and now maintaining a CPI of 8.74 and contributing in IIT Bombay by being selected as Department General Secretary, EE Dept; Manager, Consult Club; Teaching Assistant; Class Representative; Academic Coordinator; DAMP Coordinator.
