About

From managing complex industrial projects to building AI products and growth engines, I’ve delivered outcomes across very different business contexts, including a ₹3 Cr platform reaching 1L+ employees in 6 months. I help founders and business leaders turn strategic priorities into scalable products, processes and strategic initiatives, improving how businesses operate and grow. My experience spans industrial project execution, management consulting, business transformation and Founder’s Office, across strategy & operations, product, AI, growth and market expansion. What I do differently: I bridge strategy and execution, moving from strategic planning and problem definition to building, testing and implementing the solution. Got a problem worth solving, an idea worth testing, or a market worth exploring? DM me. Let’s see where it leads.
