About
I build and scale automotive and electric mobility businesses across emerging markets. With 15 years of experience across automotive, EV and international markets, I have worked across OEM partnerships, market expansion, distributor development, sales, commercial operations and P&L-led business management. My current focus is international EV expansion, working with OEMs, distributors and mobility businesses across Africa & Asia to identify opportunities, develop partnerships, structure go-to-market strategies and convert market potential into commercial business. Over the years, I have worked across the automotive value chain with leading OEMs including Bajaj Auto, Tata Motors, Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motor and Sun Mobility. This has given me a strong understanding of how automotive businesses are built — from product-market fit and channel development to dealer networks, customer adoption and commercial execution. My current international business experience includes: • EV market expansion across Africa & Asia • OEM and distributor partnerships • 2W and 3W electric mobility • Market entry and go-to-market strategy • Distributor / dealer network development • Commercial negotiations and business development • Regional P&L and business management • Cross-border stakeholder management • EV battery swapping and energy-as-a-service models At Sun Mobility, I have been involved in expanding the business across international markets including Kenya, Nepal and the Philippines, working with distributors and OEMs to develop opportunities for electric mobility and battery-swapping solutions. I am building the next phase of automotive and EV growth across Africa — especially markets where electric 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, commercial mobility and battery-swapping can create scalable business models. I am open to conversations with automotive and EV OEMs, distributors, mobility companies and investors looking to build or scale businesses across Africa and other emerging markets with Sun Mobility.
