About

I work at the intersection of category strategy, supply chain, and go-to-market execution — building decision systems that convert plans into revenue. Over 6+ years, I’ve driven ₹180–200 Cr+ in business impact across manufacturing and e-commerce by aligning demand, supply, and portfolio decisions. At Duroflex (CEO’s Office), I design and run execution systems that have enabled ₹100 Cr+ in new product revenue (2.8x AOP), improved throughput by 17%, and reduced inventory days by 33%. My work focuses on: • Portfolio & pricing decisions (mix, cannibalization, VM%) • Inventory & supply strategy (DDMRP, rebalancing) • Production & capacity systems (scheduling, KD strategy) • GTM execution (availability, ramp-up, channel deployment) Previously: Zetwerk (₹80 Cr+), Moglix (₹25 Cr+), Mjunction (₹4.2 Cr) Interested in roles where category, pricing, and execution directly drive revenue.
