  • Built Self-Serve Discounting as a BL-agnostic platform, enabling restaurants to create dynamic, self-serve campaigns with runtime segmentation, fine-grained targeting, and minimal ops dependency; drove ~₹4.5 Cr incremental GOV, reduced coupon templates by ~94%, and unlocked rapid onboarding of new business lines.
