About

In 2016, I founded Coherent Market Insights (CMI) in Pune with a mission to empower businesses through market intelligence and business intelligence to educate them on growth pockets. With a strategic roadmap, today, CMI is a global consulting firm with a presence in the US, UK, and Japan, supporting clients across 32+ countries and 15+ industries, and is currently valued at USD 40 million. With over a decade in consulting, I’ve led 4,950+ client engagements, helping businesses in B2B, B2C, and D2C sectors make data-driven decisions on go-to-market planning, competitive positioning, pricing, and growth strategy. I also serve as Principal Business Strategist at CMI, leading initiatives that uncover sustainable growth opportunities and deliver measurable outcomes. Beyond CMI, I consult for a leading Indian hyperlocal services platform, advising on pricing models and expansion. My expertise spans market intelligence, strategic foresight, consumer behaviour, GTM strategy, and M&A mapping. My insights have been featured in platforms like Forbes, BBC, Bloomberg, Fast Company, and Wall Street Street Journal, HuffPost, and CEO Today, among others. I believe in the power of analytical thinking, long-term strategy, and continuous learning. Outside of work, I engage with early-stage entrepreneurs and explore how technology can drive meaningful impact. Let’s connect, I’m always open to discussions that inspire innovation and unlock growth.
