About

Hi, I’m Ruchith Bhoopalam. Before you read about me, not shying away from it — ChatGPT rephrased the whole thing! I started my journey at Zomato as an intern and have since grown through roles across Account Management, Promos & Growth, Ads Monetization, Program Management and P&L ownership. Today, as a Zonal Lead, I work at the intersection of business strategy, growth and execution, driving P&L and marketplace outcomes while leading and developing high-performing teams. I enjoy solving ambiguous business problems, breaking them down to first principles, using data to identify the highest-impact levers, and turning insights into execution. My work spans P&L • Growth Strategy • Marketplace Strategy • GTM • Ads Monetization • Business Analytics • SQL • Program Management. 🧩 Curious | Creative | High ownership | Always looking for the next problem to decode.
