I am a growth and loyalty leader with over a decade of experience scaling tech platforms and SuperApps across the Walmart Group, Ola, and D2C portfolios. My expertise lies at the intersection of P&L ownership, retention strategy, and product growth, where I transform high-burn acquisition models into sustainable, unit-economic positive engines. Throughout my career, I have architected loyalty ecosystems, utilized predictive modeling to significantly boost cohort retention, and successfully executed 0-to-1 market expansion strategies. Combining hands-on technical proficiency in data analytics with business strategy, I focus on delivering measurable ROI and long-term customer lifetime value.
