## About

Over 18 years, I've built and scaled partnerships that sit at the intersection of technology, insurance, and consumer finance — working with brands like Acko, Zomato, Unacademy, and Vodafone before joining OneAssist Consumer Solutions as VP of Business Development\. My focus is on large\-scale B2B alliances with Internet and Fintech companies — particularly NBFC, digital lending, and payments platforms — where embedded products and co\-branded offerings can drive meaningful revenue and retention impact\. At OneAssist, I lead a strategic partnerships agenda targeting India's top tech ecosystems\. Prior to this, at Acko, I built the EV and Auto Insurance partnership vertical from ground up, signing partnerships with major fintechs and aggregator platforms\. I'm most energized by deals that take months to structure but years to compound — where the right alliance creates a distribution flywheel neither side could build alone\. 📩 Open to conversations with fintech founders, BD heads, and product leaders exploring embedded insurance, co\-lending, or loyalty\-led financial products and start\-up enthusiasts in general\.
