About

Growth-stage companies reach a point where the product works but the business isn't scaling. Sales is inconsistent, operations are founder-dependent, and execution across functions isn't yet one coordinated system. I build that system. Across six companies - no two at the same stage or with the same set of challenges - from Google and InMobi's early global expansion to launching new businesses at Flipkart, scaling Oliveboard to 12Mn+ users with EBITDA profitability throughout, and most recently transforming Reverie into an enterprise Agentic Voice AI platform. The mandate has always been the same. Take complexity, align the organization around one direction, and build the revenue and operational engine that executes. At my best when there is no playbook.
