About

I have gained 3 major irreversible muscles after having worked for more than a decade in some of the biggest startups to have come out of India, they are - PnL Management & large scale ground execution, Business transformation and 0-1 new initiatives/category building. Concurrently serving as a Visiting Professor, I impart my knowledge of New venture planning & Entrepreneurship, nurturing the next generation of managers. This blend of academic involvement and executive responsibilities underscores a commitment to continuous learning and sharing expertise within the industry. I am an eternal optimist with high agency and energy. I believe in a minimalist lifestyle, financial prudence and inclusive growth.
