About

I’m a business executive with 20+ years of global experience in Strategy, Finance, Growth and Business development. My work has taken me across boarders and across industries - more recently helping businesses digitalize, integrate, and build efficient, high-performance models. I enjoy turning ideas into clear strategies and roadmaps, and I focus on bridging execution gaps by bringing the right people and skills together. I also keep an eye on long-term industry shifts to uncover new opportunities for growth. Currently, I lead BDT Ventures as Chief Enabler. We help businesses grow by combining strategy with technology. I’m especially passionate about new ventures, business validation, and finding creative ways to apply emerging tech for better performance, customer experience, and growth. Outside work, I spend time with students—mentoring them on careers and personal development. I’m also actively involved with the Computer Society of India (Vadodara Chapter). Key Skills • Building partnerships and strategic alliances • Public-Private Partnership (PPP/PF/3P) bid & proposal evaluation • Business case modeling, financial analysis & valuations • Client coverage, competitor analysis, sector mapping
