About

Senior Program Manager at JioMart. The last four years have been about owning the levers that decide how a marketplace makes money — pricing, fees, seller economics, and the operational systems behind them. Systems thinker by instinct. Outcome-driven by default. AI is part of how I work now — it sharpens the analysis, tightens the thinking, and compresses the time from problem to prototype. 📧 varunsurya321@gmail.com
