About

I drive AI-led process transformation for fintech and marketplace platforms, with 9+ years spanning strategy, operations, and program management. At Khatabook — India's leading digital bookkeeping platform for 10M+ SMB merchants — I've led AI transformation across collections, sales, and ops: - Scaled collections AI audit coverage , enabling proactive risk detection and cutting manual review costs by 45% - Built and launched a fully digitized Lead Management System across 500+ field agents, eliminating spreadsheet-based workflows - Improved agent efficiency by 45% through centralized process automation — without adding headcount - Deployed voice AI/voicebots into collections operations as part of a broader AI transformation program Earlier, at OLX Group, I redesigned end-to-end sales and contact center processes, improving lead-to-appointment conversion from 10% to 21% and generating ₹25L/month in incremental revenue through workflow optimization. I'm proficient in SQL and data-driven decision-making, and PMP/Prosci-certified in program and change management. I'm energized by building scalable ops systems — from digitizing field workflows to deploying AI in high-volume operations — that deliver measurable, exec-visible impact.
