About

I’m a Business Development and Category Management professional with 5+ years of experience scaling marketplaces, driving revenue growth, and leading cross-border expansion. Currently at Walmart Cross-Border Trade, I work in the Home category across the US, Canada, Mexico, and Chile, spearheading marketplace expansion for Indian sellers. I also lead the Walmart Imports product charter, building logistics solutions that simplify exports and strengthen seller enablement. Previously, I headed Regional Category Operations at Porter, overseeing a ₹43 Cr+ monthly portfolio, launching multiple new vehicle categories (+32% revenue), and co-developing products like Porter Prime and Scheduled Booking with Tech/Product teams. Before this, at Relaxo Footwears, I scaled distributor/retailer networks, expanded product portfolios by 32%, and lifted nationwide sales by 18% through loyalty programs and digital sales systems. What drives me is the challenge of building ecosystems that unlock growth — whether through category innovation, cross-border trade, or digital transformation. Along the way, I’ve partnered with sellers, service providers, and cross-functional teams to create measurable results.
