About

I am a Strategic Growth & Operating Advisor with 30+ years of leadership experience across diverse industries and global corporations , of which , more than a decade spent in helping founder-led and investor-backed companies scale sustainably. I work at the critical inflection point between early success and structured growth — when revenue is accelerating but systems, teams and economics need strengthening to support the next phase. I help organisations transition from founder-driven execution to management-led execution by building operating cadence, customer acquisition discipline, monetisation clarity and organisational structure. My focus is not just on growth — but on building businesses that can scale predictably, withstand cycles and align with institutional capital. Across OLX, IndiaHomes, PropTiger and IBM Daksh, I have supported expansion, fund-raise readiness and operational stabilisation — including 6x scaling, achieving operational break-even during a market downturn, and working closely with marquee investors to align execution with long-term shareholder vision. I typically work with Series A–C companies, growth-stage platforms and investor-backed businesses that need structure without losing entrepreneurial speed. Core areas of focus: • Scaling operating models • Go-to-market and customer acquisition systems • Unit economics and monetisation strategy • Organisation design and leadership structure • Fund-raise readiness and investor alignment I help growing companies become scalable companies.
