About

I am a business leader with 10+ years of experience owning P&L, driving growth, and scaling businesses across financial services and high-growth startup environments. My career spans Goldman Sachs and leading Indian startups such as Udaan and Spinny, where I have led strategic and operational initiatives with direct impact on revenue growth, business expansion, and operational efficiency. I have operated in roles requiring both strategic thinking and hands-on execution, building and scaling business functions in fast-paced environments. My core strengths include: • Business leadership and P&L ownership • Go-to-market strategy and growth execution • Scaling business operations in high-growth environments • Strategic planning and decision-making • Financial analysis and capital allocation I bring a combination of structured financial discipline and entrepreneurial operating experience. As a CFA charterholder with an MBA from IIM Lucknow and an engineering degree from IIT Roorkee, I combine strong analytical depth with real-world business leadership experience. I am currently focused on leadership opportunities where I can drive business growth, build scalable systems, and contribute meaningfully to long-term value creation.
