About

I turn leadership intent into organisational reality. Over 8 years, I have operated in the most demanding rooms in Indian business, the CEO's task force of a global seafood tech startup, the MD's office of a multi-sector conglomerate, the innovation lab of a top solar manufacturer, and today, the Chief of Staff role at Titagarh Rail Systems, one of India's foremost rail manufacturing companies. My work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. I don't manage projects, I build systems that outlast my involvement. From AI-powered plant operations and automated testing to P2P invoice automation, HRMS rollouts, and real-time dashboards across business verticals, every initiative I lead is designed to reduce friction, create visibility, and unlock capacity for the people and leadership above me. A few things that define how I work: * I am an IIT Kharagpur post-graduate who uses Six Sigma tools the way most people use spreadsheets, to find the root cause before proposing the fix. * I was trusted with ESOPs at Captain Fresh for growing revenue significantly, that kind of recognition only comes when leadership treats you as an owner, not an operator. * I have run electoral analytics, solar GTM strategy, seafood supply chain procurement, and heavy rail digitisation, not because I chase variety, but because I genuinely thrive wherever the problem is hard and the stakes are real. In an era where Industry 4.0 is reshaping manufacturing and AI is redefining how organisations operate, I sit at exactly that edge, someone who understands both the technology and the human system it needs to serve.
