About

I’m an analytics and data science leader with 12+ years of experience solving real-world business problems through data, automation, and technology. Currently, I lead the Data & Analytics function at CashKaro Group (CashKaro, EarnKaro, BankKaro) — driving performance insights, KPI systems, fraud detection, and AI/ML adoption across multiple business units. I also spearhead the DSP/DMP strategy, using first-party data to power precise targeting and campaign optimization. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively in the fashion and e-commerce domains, applying data science and business analytics to unlock growth, retention, and operational efficiency across both large-scale platforms and new verticals. I’m also involved in building a new B2C vertical internally, where I work across product, acquisition, and monetization — blending startup-style execution with data-first thinking. On the side, I run a content-driven project on Telegram & Instagram, experimenting with growth loops, content automation, and AI-powered lead generation. 🔹 Core Areas of Focus – Data strategy, performance analytics, and KPI-driven dashboards – Application of data science for lead scoring, user segmentation, and anomaly detection – DSP/DMP infrastructure and activation of first-party data – 0→1 business builds: product GTM, funnels, CRM & retention – AI tools & LLMs for insight automation, communication, and content – Hands-on with SQL, Python, Power BI, and low-code systems 🔹 What I Share on LinkedIn I post real-world learnings at the edge of data, growth, product, and AI — whether it’s automating insights, scaling reporting, or running experiments in content-led funnels. Let’s connect if you’re building something at the intersection of data science, business strategy, AI, or growth systems — happy to collaborate, share, or problem-solve together.
