About

Customer first problem solver with nearly 6 years of experience across strategy, growth, and 0 to 1 platform building at Flipkart. I’ve led high impact charters at Shopsy, Flipkart’s hyper value e-commerce arm, from its early launch phase to becoming a scaled, retention optimized marketplace. My core expertise lies in identifying and shaping key platform levers across pricing strategy, funnel optimization, seller behavior, and user experience to drive sustainable GMV growth and improve long term retention. I’ve built systems that scale, including marketplace incentive programs, rating based discovery logic, express checkout journeys, and value tagged pricing models. I operate at the intersection of product thinking, ops design, and data led decision making, backed by deep collaboration with Product, Engineering, BizFin, and CX teams. Recognized with multiple awards for business transformation and customer impact, I thrive in zero to one, ambiguity rich spaces and bring structure to fast moving problem statements.
