About

As a strategy manager at Reliance Industries Limited, one of India's largest and most diversified conglomerates, I conduct marketing performance reviews, identify and evaluate strategic initiatives, and optimize the operating model and organization structure for various businesses across Reliance Retail. I also leverage my expertise in market analysis, competition benchmarking, and go-to-market strategy to support product launches and business growth. I hold a dual degree in management from MDI Gurgaon and ESCP Business School, two of the top-ranked business schools in India and Europe respectively. I graduated with a merit rank of 8 in my PGDM batch and won multiple case competitions organized by leading companies like L'Oréal, MARS, and Highon. I also mentored and prepared over 700 students for placements and career development as a senior student coordinator of the mentorship cell. Before my post-graduation, I worked as an SAP consultant and focused on improving the process efficiency and digitalization of the organization and implementing Industry 4.0.
