About

Results-driven Operations professional with 7+ years leading cross-functional programs, process governance, and team performance across EdTech and high-growth consumer-tech environments At Kaplan India, I led cross-functional programs serving 10,000+ students annually, designed 15+ SOPs that cut process errors by ~30%, and drove a 15% improvement in course completion rates. At Swiggy Instamart, I managed external user support operations across customer-facing workflows, launched operational models across 5+ new zones, and improved delivery efficiency by 20%. I bridge the gap between operations and product thinking — using tools like Salesforce, SQL, Power BI, and Agile frameworks to make data-informed decisions that move teams forward. What excites me most: simplifying what's complex, scaling what works across regions and user bases, and building systems that make teams faster and learners more successful. I'm particularly passionate about designing processes that scale efficiently without sacrificing quality. I'm actively exploring opportunities in Operations Team Lead, Live Operations, Program Management, or Associate PM roles where operational depth meets product strategy and real-time execution. 📩 Open to conversations — feel free to connect!
