About

With more than a decade of experience in setting and scaling up businesses and teams in different regions and sectors, I am currently the Managing Director at FlixBus India, one of the largest bus markets in the world. My core competencies include new markets and product launches, supply and demand growth, business strategy and planning, public policy and government relations, strategic partnerships and business development, and B2B and B2C sales. I have a Harvard Executive Education in Strategy and Leadership, and a Bachelor of Technology in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering. Previously, I was the Global Product Management lead for Uber's In-Car Tablet and CarTops Advertising unit, where I led the launch and expansion of the tablet ads surface. I also worked on the strategy and operations for Uber's High Capacity Vehicle offering, including the launch of the B2B service for Bus, Charter, and Employee Transit across various markets. I am passionate about building and scaling sustainable and affordable long-haul bus travel solutions that can transform the mobility landscape and create positive social and environmental impact. I lead a team of talented and driven individuals who share this mission and vision. Together, we are working to make FlixBus India a success story.
