About

Currently, I am spearheading the Smart Devices business for Mygate. My responsibilities encompass identifying market gaps, developing the right product, and driving sales and revenue. Previously, I established and scaled a cleaning subscription service within Mygate communities, which was later acquired by Urban Company. Before my tenure at Mygate, I spent over four years at Urban Company, where I led multiple projects and managed businesses both at the city level and centrally. With a total of 14+ years of experience, I have a diverse background in Operations, Business Development, Entrepreneurship, and Sales.
