About

I am a fashion retail and e-commerce professional with over 8 years of experience in buying, merchandising, and category management across apparel, home, and accessories. My career spans working with e-commerce and quick commerce platforms, where I’ve managed diverse portfolios, driven growth strategies, and built strong consumer connections. Alongside industry expertise, I have contributed as a teaching professional at NIF Global, mentoring students in fashion entrepreneurship and exhibition design. Beyond my career, I am deeply passionate about social causes, having actively volunteered with organizations like the Robin Hood Army and Bhumi, focusing on community upliftment and education initiatives. Outside of work, I find balance and inspiration in swimming and painting, which fuel both my creativity and discipline.
