MBA | Strategy & Finance | Ex-Amazon, founder, VC Scout, CFO Currently a member of Break into VC, which is India's largest VC network. I’m an MBA candidate (Jan 2026 completion) with experience across high-paced operational problem-solving, technology-driven scale, and startup leadership. My career spans from being a mathematics teacher to leading 50+ staff at Kamikala to streamline production bottlenecks and increase output through lean workflow design. As CFO of Harsil, a job-search tech venture, I lead fundraising strategy, financial modelling, and GTM execution. This exposure to growth-stage decision-making shaped my interest in private equity and consulting, especially at the intersection of tech, operational improvement, and emerging markets. I’m passionate about working with high-potential companies — analysing business models, identifying scalability levers, optimising financial strategy, and supporting founders through disciplined growth. Long term, I aim to work in strategy or investment roles that combine analytical rigour with execution ownership. Areas of focus: • Tech & digital marketplaces • Early-stage evaluation & GTM strategy • Financial modelling & portfolio value creation • Process optimisation, scaling & ops efficiency • Data-driven decision-making & problem solving What I bring: ✔ Experience leading teams of 30–50+ across ops + process improvement ✔ Startup finance + cash-flow management + pitch deck development ✔ Strong quantitative and analytical capability (MBA + real execution exposure) ✔ Stakeholder communication, structured thinking, and results delivery If you’re building, investing, or solving problems in tech, operations, or growth strategy — I’d love to connect.
