About

At PayU, I lead the charter for New Data Products and Alternate Data Partnerships. I envisioned and launched PayU's first data product that leverages partner data - Return-to-Origin (RTO) suite - for e-commerce merchants. Prior to this, I lead the Business Finance charter for PayU Payments. As part of the same, I worked closely with leadership to achieve org-wide financial targets. I have also been involved in achieving business profitability for core car business for Uber in Bangalore. And have worked on the Investment Banking Team of Goldman Sachs. I hold an MBA in marketing and finance from XLRI.
