About

35+ years building and leading high‑performing teams across FMCG, e-grocery, digital marketing, and start-ups. Experience spans Pillsbury, ITC Agro-Tech, ZopNow, Times Internet, and Netwoven. I have helped scale businesses with simple goals, simple processes, and clear accountability—identifying and developing stars early, hiring well, and making tough calls when needed. Deep knowledge of Indian consumers and low-margin categories (cooking oil, atta). Helped scale start-ups in LED lighting and e-grocery by 3x–20x. Led large national sales and operations teams, marketing, and HR; known for clarity in communication, authenticity over optics, and building teams that work well together and enjoy the journey. Core strengths: P&L ownership in low-margin environments Go-to-market and channel execution Team design, coaching, and org-scale hiring Data-informed operations and growth Turnarounds and scale-ups in complex markets
