About

I am a product and business leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling e-commerce businesses at Amazon. Across Amazon B2B, Marketplace and Cloudtail, I have led 0→1 launches and 1→10 scale-ups, owning end-to-end responsibility across product strategy, category P&L, selection, pricing, vendor experience and go-to-market. I have built and scaled complex categories including Quick Commerce (Amazon Tez), Slotted Delivery (Amazon Fresh), Multi-Year B2B Deals, Home and Furniture, and launched multiple sub-categories and operational capabilities to expand regional reach. My work has consistently focused on turning ambiguous or underperforming businesses into scalable and profitable ventures, through a combination of short-term execution rigor and long-term structural bets. I operate at the intersection of Category Management, Business Development and Account Management, partnering closely with engineering, operations, finance and senior leadership to deliver durable customer and P&L outcomes. I thrive in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments such as Quick Commerce, Fresh and B2B, where customer experience, speed and cost efficiency must be balanced at scale. I hold an MBA (PGDM) in Operations from SPJIMR and a degree in Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani. Earlier in my career, I worked as an ASIC Design Engineer at NVIDIA, developing cutting-edge chipsets, and have experience across manufacturing, real estate, insurance and skill-development sectors—bringing a systems-thinking approach to building scalable businesses.
