Most recently, I was the Vice President of Business Development at Paytail, a fintech startup that enabled merchants to offer flexible payment options to their customers through unsecured lending and other EMI solutions. There, I was responsible for acquiring and retaining brands, merchants, monetizing the merchant network, and cross-selling financial products. I also led new initiatives and projects for cost optimization and metrics improvement. In less than a year, I helped Paytail build its merchant base to 50k and increase loan disbursement by 10X.
