About

Growth & Strategy leader with 10 years of experience driving business scale, profitability, and innovation across high-growth consumer and tech companies in India and the Middle East. I specialize in scaling new business lines, turning around P&Ls, and building high-performing strategy and analytics teams that connect data, product, and business outcomes. Currently part of the CEO’s Office at Zepto, where I lead Strategy & Growth and have driven 47% MoM growth for Zepto Café, turnaround of the Ads Monetization vertical (4.1x revenue growth in 6 months), and multiple cost-to-profit initiatives toward EBITDA breakeven. Previously, I built and scaled Analytics & Strategy functions at Cars24 (India & UAE), improving procurement 3.5x, margins +9%, and reducing inventory by 37%. Earlier roles at Zomato, i3 Consulting, and MSIPL shaped my foundation in growth analytics, problem-solving, and P&L thinking. I’m deeply passionate about building from 0-to-1, optimizing at scale, and blending analytical rigor with strategic storytelling, enabling organizations to grow faster and more sustainably. Open to global leadership opportunities in Strategy, Growth, or P&L roles across Consumer Tech, New Retail, and Emerging Markets.
