About

I am a Corporate Strategy and Commercial GTM executive with nearly 12 years of experience across physical-digital infrastructure, software platforms, and connected asset ecosystems. Heading Global Corporate Strategy & Commercial Architecture from our India GCC, I govern an executive mandate spanning portfolio execution, market entry, and commercial diversification across North America, LATAM, Europe, India, Middle East, Africa, ANZ, and APAC. A dual-threat operator across complex industrial tech stacks, I pair an MS in Mechanical Engineering (University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) with an MBA (IIM Bangalore, India) to translate physical infrastructure—e-mobility networks, automated fuel retail, POS/payments, IoT layers, and cloud telemetry—into scaled, profitable global businesses. Backed by four promotions in five years, my expertise bridges the commercial value chain: Corporate & Business Strategy: Designing growth roadmaps, evaluating international M&A, and structuring cross-border vendor ecosystems to expand TAM. GTM & Marketing: Scaling digital platform pipelines, establishing structured VOC programs, and deploying targeted ABM across high-revenue enterprise accounts. Sales & Business development: Spearheading contract acquisitions, optimizing value-based pricing, and managing complex multi-party stakeholder matrices. Operational Excellence & AI: Driving execution and team autonomy by combining continuous improvement Kaizen frameworks with agentic AI workflows and advanced data diagnostics. Core Operational Pillars: Global Portfolio Governance: Leading macro growth frameworks, capital prioritization diagnostics, and strategic roadmaps to steer total business performance. Platform & Connected Solutions GTM: Designing multi-party commercial architectures, software localization to optimize CapEx, and partner frameworks across hardware, SaaS, and digital payment rails. Inorganic Scale & GM Strategy: Driving international pipelines, evaluating target alignment, and mentoring cross-functional talent to build autonomous regional cells. I orchestrate holistic business models marrying legacy asset operations with software monetization, secure transaction layers, and enterprise AI models to drive long-term organizational value. Connect to exchange insights or discuss collaboration across global platform, connected solutions, POS/payments, and enterprise energy landscapes.
