About

I am a strategic operator who builds scalable revenue and operations systems in fast-growing but execution-heavy businesses. My strength lies in taking organizations from fragile growth to predictable execution—by fixing root causes, not papering over cracks. I work deeply across revenue, fulfillment, and people systems, which is why the teams I lead show high ownership, low attrition, and consistent delivery under pressure. Over the last few years, I’ve: Scaled a staffing revenue line from ₹32L to ₹110L within 15 months Improved recruiter productivity by 50% through automation and process redesign Built repeatable hiring, sales, and fulfillment systems in high-velocity environments Led sales and operations together—aligning incentives, accountability, and execution I am most effective in SaaS, gig platforms/marketplaces, new age startups, recruitment or staffing businesses, where scale breaks weak systems quickly and disciplined operators create outsized leverage. I believe in: Fixing problems once, even if it takes longer upfront Hiring and holding people accountable based on capability, not tenure Optimizing for long-term foundations over short-term optics I work best with founders and leadership teams who value clarity, ownership, and truth over comfort.
