Parrot Ventures Pvt Ltd
Oct 20232 yrs 1 moOct 2025

India

At Parrot Ventures, I led the launch and growth of multiple e-commerce brands. One of the key projects was the development of PaperUS, a shipping label brand. I conducted in-depth market research to identify product opportunities and successfully launched on Amazon USA. By strategically optimizing PPC campaigns and SEO, I significantly reduced ad costs and improved operational efficiency. I worked closely with Chinese vendors to negotiate product pricing and enhance packaging, which ultimately led to a significant improvement in margins. In addition, I managed the online P&L for a children's apparel brand in Kolkata, contributing to a notable increase in customer reach and brand revenue. I also set up an online presence for a men's footwear brand, driving growth through e-commerce channels and refining quality management protocols to ensure high customer satisfaction and lower return rates. Throughout these projects, I applied my expertise in market analysis, vendor relations, and digital marketing, building a portfolio of brands with a focus on long-term growth and customer experience.

At Shiva Polytubes, I spearheaded the expansion of operations into the Kolkata region, successfully establishing a fulfillment center within the first month. My focus was on understanding the market dynamics through detailed competitor analysis and market research, which led to the strategic onboarding of retail dealers and the optimization of our product range to better meet customer needs. I organized and conducted workshops with hundreds of plumbing professionals, sharing insights and educating them on the product’s value. Additionally, I built and implemented training modules for sales teams and set performance metrics, leading to significant improvements in sales and customer experience. I expanded our distribution footprint into multiple districts, building a strong network of dealers and sub-dealers, while strengthening client relationships through loyalty programs and continuous feedback.
