I most recently worked in the Founder's Office at SuperAGI, where I drove strategy and execution for a new B2C full stack Q-commerce business, spanning business strategy, product, and operations. From evaluating new business opportunities to shaping go-to-market strategy and owning new product category launches end to end, I worked closely with the founders on high-impact, cross-functional projects. Prior to this, I completed my MBA from Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. During my summer internship at Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, I worked on market entry strategy across emerging markets, contributing to decisions around where to play, what to sell, and how to win. Before business school, I spent 4+ years at Fermat Education, an early stage Edtech startup, growing from a digital marketing role into business and strategy leadership. I led cross-functional teams, built new growth channels, and drove revenue through product, partnerships, and go-to-market initiatives. I’m energized by ambiguous, high-impact problems that sit at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution.
