About

Currently, I serve as the Chief Growth Officer at GoKwik, a VC-backed growth-tech platform that helps D2C brands increase GMV by solving for conversions, retention, checkout & post purchase experiences. GoKwik is valued at $450M, and I believe we’re building a generational company for the future of e-commerce. I’m also the creator of Grow Kwik, a fast-growing content channel with over 500K followers across Instagram and YouTube, where we share insights, founder stories, and playbooks from India’s digital commerce ecosystem. Previously, I was the Vice President & Country Head – India at Wix.com, where I led revenue growth, product localisation, and ecosystem development for one of the world’s largest website platforms with 46% global market share. Before that, I was the International Partnerships Lead at Shopify, and the first employee for Shopify in India and Asia-Pacific. I helped Shopify enter and scale across emerging markets in APAC, EMEA and LATAM—working remotely for 3 years before building the India team and its partner network from the ground up. With over 16 years of experience across tech, revenue growth, digital transformation, and international expansion, I specialise in scaling companies post product–market fit and building high-impact ecosystems. I actively advise and invest in SaaS, consumer tech, AI, and Web3 startups, and occasionally teach at institutions like IIM, IIT, SP Jain, Narsee Monjee, and Welingkar. My learning is fuelled by people, books, and real-world execution. My superpower is my energy—ask anyone who’s worked with me.
