About

I build and fix operations at scale. Over 12.5 years, I've led end-to-end operations, supply chain and business development across some of India's most ambitious startups — from dockless bikes at Ofo to EV fleets at Bounce, agri-commerce at Plantix and hyperlocal delivery at Runnr. I've owned $20M+ procurement programs, managed 7,000+ EV fleet operations across multiple cities and driven 45% revenue growth through supply chain transformation. What I do best: → Build operations from 0→1 and scale them across cities. → Design procurement strategies that cut costs without cutting reliability. → Own P&L with full accountability for revenue, margins and efficiency. → Lead and develop cross-functional teams in high-pressure, high-growth environments. → Build vendor ecosystems, negotiate high-value contracts and create supply chain resilience. My experience spans mobility, agritech, logistics, F&B and marketplaces — giving me a rare ability to apply play-books across industries and spot inefficiencies that sector specialists miss. I hold certifications in Operations Management and Strategic Management from IIMBx (IIM Bangalore).Currently consulting on Operations and SCM at Cautio. Actively exploring full-time Lead Operations, Lead of Supply Chain, Senior Manager or General Manager roles in India where I can own outcomes, not just functions. Let's connect if you're building something that needs operational muscle to scale.
