About

I’m a fintech partnerships and market expansion professional with 8+ years of experience helping companies build, launch, and scale payment and financial products across India and APAC. My core strength lies in taking new markets and products from zero to scale—by building the right banking and fintech partnerships, aligning product and compliance early, and driving revenue and volume growth through structured go-to-market execution. Across my career, I’ve consistently delivered measurable outcomes: * Built and scaled payment and remittance businesses under regulated environments. * Drove high-impact partnerships with banks, fintechs, and global platforms. * Executed market launches and expansions across India, SEA, Africa * Worked closely with regulators, including direct participation in RBI’s Regulatory Sandbox. * Scaled transaction volumes from 0 to multi-million dollars per month. Most recently, at EBANX, I helped build the India market from the ground up—onboarding multiple processing partners, enabling global merchants, and scaling volume to $3M+ per month. Previously at Cashfree Payments, I led cross-border partnerships and regulatory initiatives, including LRS and OPGSP frameworks. I operate at the intersection of partnerships, product solutioning, and execution, solving problems around market entry, partner selection, regulatory navigation, and scalable payment infrastructure. I’m motivated by roles where I can own ambiguity, build durable partnerships, and help companies expand into complex but high-growth markets.
