Growth Lead - Center of Excellence at ShopDeck, Aug 2025 - Jan 2026 · 6 mos, Part of the Center of Excellence (CoE), an internal growth consulting unit at Shopdeck supporting 150+ D2C sellers across categories. The team focuses on solving growth bottlenecks and building scalable performance marketing systems across accounts. In this role, I work on diagnosing seller-level constraints across demand generation, conversion rates, ACV retention, and profitability, and build structured Google growth strategies from a zero baseline. I design hypothesis-led scaling frameworks covering budget allocation, creative testing, and audience expansion to guide account teams on when to push demand versus optimize for efficiency. Enabled a 6× increase in daily ad spend by institutionalizing data-driven decision making and scaling frameworks. I also built cross-account benchmarks and Excel and SQL-driven performance dashboards to help leadership evaluate growth vs. margin trade-offs and guide capital allocation across accounts. Collaborate closely with account managers and performance teams to standardize growth playbooks and ensure consistent scaling strategies across the platform.
Growth Lead - Revenue at ShopDeck, Dec 2024 - Jul 2025 · 8 mos, At ShopDeck, I manage performance marketing and growth strategy for early-stage D2C brands across fashion, home decor, and jewelry categories. In the past 8 months, I’ve worked hands-on with 15+ brands, scaling their revenue from early traction to sustainable growth. My current responsibility includes managing ₹1.8L+ daily ad spend across Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads. Through full-funnel execution, I’ve consistently achieved up to 5x ROAS and driven 35%+ month-on-month revenue growth. I contributed ₹1.7 Cr to ShopDeck’s overall ₹52 Cr ARR within just 7 months. I also led a GenAI-powered pilot project in collaboration with Meta, focused on improving targeting and creative personalization using AI. This initiative generated over ₹1 Cr in conversation value and became a benchmark for AI-led performance optimization within our portfolio. A key focus of my work has been funnel optimization and conversion improvement. By identifying drop-offs, improving AOV, and implementing retention loops, I’ve improved conversion rates by 25–40% and reduced RTO by 20–25%. These results were driven through continuous experimentation and cross-functional collaboration with brand founders, designers, and ops teams. I use tools like Excel and Metabase for reporting, diagnostics, and building internal dashboards. I’ve also created structured playbooks to guide campaign launch, performance tracking, and scale-up—now used by the wider team to onboard and grow new brands. This role has shaped me into an execution-focused, analytical marketer with a deep understanding of D2C growth. I’m always looking to push performance benchmarks and bring strategic clarity to high-growth campaigns.
