Senior Manager at Urban Company l Ex - Zomato, professional athlete
About
I was born and raised in India, where I grew up chasing two dreams, one on the field and the other in the world of business. Early on, my life was all about football. I dedicated years to the sport, eventually achieving my goal of becoming a professional footballer. That journey taught me more than just discipline and resilience; it taught me how to think strategically, work under pressure, and lead teams with empathy. Alongside my sports career, I pursued a degree in business, driven by curiosity about how companies are built, scaled, and sustained. During college, I explored different corners of the business world, interning at a startup, a finance company, and a consulting firm. Each experience shaped my understanding of growth, structure, and problem-solving in unique ways. Today, I work at Urban Company as a Senior Manager. Working on growth, experience and quality. Previously I was a part of the consumer product team and supply team at Zomato and District respectively where I focused on creating intuitive, user-centric experiences that sit at the intersection of technology design, and quality.
