I build and scale hyperlocal operations that are fast, reliable and built to scale sustainably. Currently Director – Hyperlocal Operations at Supertails, where I designed and launched a partner-led quick-commerce network across Bengaluru, Mumbai and NCR within 3 months. Today it enables a 30-minute delivery promise for 80%+ of customers across all three cities. I own the P&L and chose an asset-light, partner-led model to improve unit economics, and I'm now driving the network's path to profitability. Before Supertails, I spent 7+ years at Licious, growing through six roles, from Area Manager to Cluster Head. I led operations across NCR, Hyderabad, Pune and Haryana, running cold-chain, last-mile and store operations for one of India's fastest-growing D2C brands. Along the way, I contributed to the design of Licious hubs and led quality charters to raise operational and product standards across the network. I started my career as an engineer at Wipro, and that grounding still shapes how I work: data-driven, process-first and focused on building systems that scale. What I bring: • Quick Commerce & Hyperlocal Network Design • P&L Ownership & Unit Economics • Last-Mile Delivery & Dark Store Operations • Hub Design & Quality Management • Partner & Vendor Ecosystem Building • Building and Leading High-Performance Ops Teams Always happy to connect with people building in quick commerce, D2C and supply chain.
