About

I am a business transformation and AI strategy leader with 20+ Years of experience spanning Consumer technology, sales and distribution, brand marketing, digital transformation, enterprise platforms and Agentic AI. As Chief AI Strategist at Magnafic, I help FMCG and consumer businesses scale through a powerful combination of Top 1% industry experts, AI-powered agents, data-driven insights and execution focused consulting. At Magnafic, I work with founders, promoters and leadership teams across: • Business strategy and transformation • FMCG and CPG go-to-market strategy • Sales and distribution transformation • Digital and AI transformation • Agentic AI workforce implementation • Fractional CTO and technology advisory • Brand growth and market expansion • Process automation and enterprise platforms As a three-time founder, I understand that transformation cannot remain confined to presentations. It must translate into stronger systems, faster decisions, measurable execution and sustainable business growth. I previously co-founded Recibo.AI and EAZY.AI, an AI-powered ERP, Sales Force Automation, Distribution Management and B2B e-commerce platform designed for the complex needs of Indian businesses. Building the company gave me extensive hands-on experience in product strategy, SaaS, enterprise technology, business development, fundraising, team building and scaling a technology venture. Earlier in my career, I held Business transformation roles with leading organisations including Samsung, Philips, Hindustan Unilever and GlaxoSmithKline. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in consumer behaviour, branded retail, general trade, channel sales, distributor management, trade marketing, brand activation and regional market development. This combination of corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, consulting and technology enables me to connect strategy with execution and traditional business fundamentals with next-generation AI capabilities. My approach is practical, collaborative and outcome-oriented. I believe technology should simplify business, empower teams and accelerate growth not create another layer of complexity. If you are building, scaling or transforming an FMCG, CPG, retail, healthcare or technology-led business, I would be glad to connect and explore how strategy, expert talent and Agentic AI can create meaningful business impact.
