About

A seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in military and corporate leadership, specialized in business development, growth enablement and operational excellence within the technology and services industry. After over five years stint enabling sales at Genpact, for the last one year, I have been deeply involved in expanding their GCC business practice. Given the wide spectrum of size and maturity across GCCs, “meeting them where they are”, is our partnership philosophy. Whilst our strong lean six sigma and process excellence makes us the perfect choice for GCCs in the earlier stages of size and maturity, our last mile prowess and Agentic AI led transformation enables us to deliver value to even the largest and most mature GCCs. My current focus is to ensure that GCC leadership in India is appraised about the capabilities that a partnership with Genpact could unlock. Before this tenure I served as the Vice President at Genpact, where I lead a dynamic team of managers focused on enhancing proposal quality & implementing innovative technological solutions. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in strategic planning, change management, and people leadership, allowing me to transform teams into high-performing units. Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my ability to bridge delivery excellence with commercial strategy, managing over $200M in procurement and global supply chain operations. I have successfully integrated GenAI technologies to streamline processes and improve operational efficiency. My leadership has led to my team winning 14 prestigious international awards, underscoring our commitment to excellence in bid management and proposal quality. I am passionate about empowering teams and fostering a culture of collaboration and trust. Key Achievements: - Handpicked as part of the core team set up to ensure that Genpact becomes a world leader in GCC set up and transformation space through acceleration of all GTM motions including business development. - Led a high-performing team at Genpact to win 14 international awards for excellence. - Achieved a 20% increase in win rates through strategic sales enablement, leveraging advance technology in operations & knowledge management. - Honored with the Innovation Trophy by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for pioneering a unique repair methodology during my tenure in the Navy.

  • I am a revenue‑driven business development leader who uses Global Capability Centers (GCCs) as primary growth and revenue generation channels, anchored in AI‑first and agentic operations–led offerings. I work at the front edge of enterprise growth—engaging GCC Heads and senior leaders to convert advanced technology conversations into pipeline, deal momentum, and revenue outcomes. My strength lies in positioning GCCs not as delivery constructs, but as AI‑powered growth engines that enable intelligent operations, autonomous decisioning, and scalable value creation. Through deep executive relationships, consultative selling, and disciplined execution, I focus relentlessly on advancing opportunities, accelerating buying decisions, and building predictable, GCC‑led revenue growth driven by AI and agentic operating models.
