Chief of Staff | Strategy & Operations | Cross-functional Transformation | Ex-Ather CEO Office

About

I operate at the intersection of CEO priorities, business operations, and cross-functional execution across early-stage venture capital, DeepTech and high-growth startup environments spanning EV, consumer, health tech, FMCG and emerging technologies. I am currently exploring India’s space-tech and defence ecosystem, especially where dual-use technologies, mission-critical systems, capital and operating discipline come together to build sovereign capability at global standards. At Ather Energy, I worked in the CEO Office through scale-up and IPO-readiness, building executive cadence, OKR governance, leadership reviews, P&L dashboards, decision materials, product business cases, fundraising support and transformation programs across product, operations, finance and customer experience. Earlier, I founded and exited Adnue, an AI-powered hyperlocal ad-tech platform, where I raised capital, built enterprise partnerships, scaled advertisers 5x and led technology and operations transfer. My experience spans early-stage investing, company building, strategic operations and working closely with founders and leadership teams to turn strategy into execution.
