About

Head of Finance & Legal | Strategic Partner in Series B Growth From scaling operations at established giants like Diageo, Myntra, and Wipro Consumer Care to navigating the high-stakes environment of Series B startups, I have always been a "go-getter" who thrives on taking ownership. Currently, I am focused on building Pronto, where I lead the Finance and Legal functions. My expertise lies at the intersection of financial discipline and operational agility. I specialize in: Fundraising & Due Diligence: Leading FDDs/LDDs and managing the complexities of capital raises. Building Foundations: Setting up high-performing finance teams from scratch. Cross-Functional Impact: Leveraging a background in marketing and trade spend management to drive business-wide efficiency. With a core foundation in Excel, Data Analytics, and Stakeholder Management, I turn complex data into actionable strategies that move the needle.
