About

As a second-year MBA student at XLRI Delhi-NCR with a Computer Science background, I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and technology. I’ve led initiatives across high-growth startups and legacy brands - driving impact at OYO, AJIO, and recently at Airtel through the Young Leaders Program. Whether optimizing backend systems or crafting data-led brand campaigns, I enjoy solving complex problems with clarity and collaboration. A lifelong cricket enthusiast, I bring the same focus and team spirit from the pitch to every boardroom. I’m always looking to engage in ideas that drive innovation, customer value, and long-term growth.
