About

I bring 5 years of professional experience across the Food & Agri industry and Quick Commerce, with a current focus on category management in Quick Commerce Company . For me, category management is more than managing numbers — it’s about spotting opportunities, creating use cases, and driving meaningful growth for brands and platforms. When I launched and scaled brands on marketplace platforms, I didn’t just track sales; I worked on the fine details from assortment planning and vendor negotiation to resolving supply chain hurdles. This approach helped me grow brands by 1000 % in just one year. At the same time, by monitoring every factor affecting supply, I improved fill rates dramatically from 50% to 98% — ensuring customers always got what they wanted. I’ve also shaped categories in new directions by creating innovative use cases, which opened fresh avenues for customer adoption and engagement. Along the way, I’ve developed Know-how in vendor management, SKU rationalization, P&L management, and marketplace dynamics supported by tools like Google Sheets, Vendor Management Systems,Inventory Management Systems,Order Management Systems,Pricing & Promotions Tools and data-led decision-making. What excites me most is the energy of fast-paced environments where every day is an opportunity to build, fix, and grow. When I’m not deep into category strategies, you’ll often find me traveling, discovering new places, and connecting with people — because great ideas often come from outside the desk.
