I'm a Business Analyst with 5+ years of experience owning P&L, designing Annual Operating Plans, and driving financial strategy in high-scale logistics operations. At Shadowfax, I manage multi-vertical P&L across Dark Stores, MFCs, Warehouses, B2C/B2B Grocery, and Large Items. I design AOPs from the ground up, set MoM targets, build cost-to-serve models, and lead monthly planning cycles with rolling forecasts. My most impactful outcome to date: taking Contribution Margin from –9% to +15% within two quarters through disciplined cost governance and unit economics analysis. Before Shadowfax, I worked at Infosys BPM where I built Tableau dashboards, ran SQL/BigQuery-based data validation at scale, and improved Customer Effort Score from 68% to 87.8% through process redesign. What I bring to the table: — End-to-end P&L and AOP ownership — Financial modelling, scenario analysis, and variance deep-dives — Rate card design, vendor reconciliation, and rider economics — Executive and board-level reporting with SQL · Python · Tableau · Power BI
