Founder’s Office@Snowball | Strategy & Transformation Intern @TKILIndustries | Growth Specialist @ Stak | | BITS Pilani, Goa

About

Founder's Office Associate at SnowballAI, an AI-powered growth firm building Snowball OS — a full-stack growth operating system for Shopify DTC brands. I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution: working directly with the founder across go-to-market design, business operations, and client engagements, with end-to-end ownership from problem diagnosis through implementation. The mandate spans market analysis, sales operations, and building the internal systems that enable scale. My core thesis: customer discovery is undergoing a structural shift from traditional search to AI-driven channels (ChatGPT, Perplexity), creating a widening visibility gap for consumer brands — and a first-mover advantage for those who close it. I work with DTC brands to translate this shift into measurable growth outcomes. Prior experience includes strategy and operational transformation at TKIL Industries, contributing to strategic initiatives and performance improvement workstreams. Currently pursuing a B.E. in Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus. Open to conversations with founders and operators on GTM strategy, AI-driven growth, and the changing economics of customer acquisition.
