About

With ~10 years of experience spanning strategy consulting and in-house business strategy, I currently work out of the CEO’s office at Reliance Retail — one of India’s largest and fastest-growing consumer businesses. My focus is on identifying and driving high-impact initiatives across formats and functions, working closely with senior leadership to align strategic intent with operational execution. I began my career in consulting with KPMG and Accenture, solving complex problems across industries in the areas of EBITDA improvement, cost optimization, strategic sourcing, and operations excellence — a foundation that informs my current systems-thinking approach. I believe real influence is built through insight, not noise. I value trust, precision, and quiet excellence — and I aim to bring those to every room I walk into.
