About

I’m a growth strategist, platform builder, and GTM leader with a rare blend of experience across edtech, creator economy, and startup operations. From launching ₹10 Cr+ revenue city operations at HelloWorld by age 24 to revamping Unacademy’s YouTube engine into a 2B+ views powerhouse, I’ve consistently built high-impact systems from scratch. At Unacademy, I’ve led cross-functional initiatives driving 2L+ leads/month, scaled SEO from 8L to 13M+ monthly views, and launched multi-crore product campaigns like Unacademy Platinum. I’ve also driven influencer-led brand events with Jasprit Bumrah, Ashish Chanchlani, and Samay Raina—garnering 50M+ views. What drives me? Building from zero, solving real user problems, and scaling digital ecosystems with sharp storytelling, data, and community thinking.
