Abhisek Chand — Program Manager

I've spent the last 8 years at the intersection of strategy and operations—building programs that scale, driving P&L impact, and turning ambitious plans into delivered outcomes. At Bharti Airtel, I wore two hats that shaped my approach to execution: As Senior Program Manager for the Airtel DTC PMO, I led the program management office for one of India's largest retail launches. I established governance frameworks that aligned technology, regulatory, and business stakeholders, built cross-functional delivery cadences, and created the operational backbone that enabled teams to execute on aggressive timelines while navigating complex compliance and integration challenges. In my retail operations role, I took P&L responsibility for 1,500+ Airtel DTC stores, driving profitability through strategic interventions. I redesigned inventory management processes that reduced working capital by 18%, implemented performance dashboards that increased store-level visibility, and led a market expansion strategy that opened 200+ new touchpoints in underserved geographies. I built the operational playbook—from supply chain optimization to incentive structure redesign—that turned underperforming stores into revenue generators. At PI Industries, I drove digital transformation across enterprise operations, leading CRM implementation programs and building change management frameworks that ensured technology adoption across business units. I designed stakeholder alignment processes that converted transformation resistance into buy-in, and established program governance that kept multi-million dollar initiatives on time and on budget. On the entrepreneurial side, I run two ventures: Evosoft (enterprise SaaS for workflow automation) and Cafeasy (hyperlocal F&B platform)—where I've learned to build, iterate, and scale with constrained resources while balancing product, operations, and growth. With an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad (2017-19), I combine strategic thinking with operational discipline. I thrive in ambiguity, align competing priorities, and build the systems that turn strategy into measurable outcomes—whether that's P&L improvement, program delivery, or market expansion. I'm currently exploring senior program management, chief of staff, and go-to-market strategy roles in high-growth consumer, D2C, SaaS, or new-age companies where strategic program leadership and operational execution drive the next phase of growth. Let's connect if you're scaling something ambitious and need someone who bridges strategy and execution to deliver results.
