About

As a results-driven professional with cross-functional expertise in Sales, Business Development, and Digital Marketing, I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking and executional excellence to the FMCG and Food Service sectors. With experience spanning industry leaders like McCain Foods and Adani Wilmar, I have successfully driven new category launches, expanded B2B sales channels, and managed key accounts such as Zomato Hyperpure, Starbucks, and Rebel Foods. At McCain, I currently lead initiatives in the Emerging Channels division, where I’ve contributed to a 12% YoY sales increase by acquiring new HoReCa and cloud kitchen clients, optimizing SKU strategy, and ensuring seamless coordination across operations, finance, and supply chain functions. Previously at Adani Wilmar, I led a high-performing team across North and South India, executed RTM strategies, and strengthened institutional sales by building strong distributor and government tender partnerships. My strategic interventions led to a 38% boost in B2B sales output. Academically, I hold an MBA in Food and Agribusiness Management from NIFTEM and a certification in Digital Marketing & Communication from MICA, which enables me to leverage data analytics, platform trends, and digital-first thinking in business growth. I’m also Google-certified in Digital Marketing and Data Analytics. I’m passionate about creating impact at the intersection of food, technology, and customer experience. Let’s connect if you’re interested in scaling business in the food service or FMCG space!
