I help businesses grow - by building the systems, teams, and strategies that turn ambition into measurable outcomes. Over the past 8+ years, I've worked across EdTech, AgriTech, and Manufacturing, holding roles in Revenue Operations, Chief of Staff, and P&L ownership. I've managed USD 650K+ in revenue, led teams of 50+, launched new market categories from scratch, and built operating infrastructure - OKRs, sales dashboards, CRM frameworks, and deal desk processes - that give leadership real visibility and control. What I do best: → Revenue & Sales Operations: Sales performance dashboards, CRM hygiene frameworks, incentive policies, and deal desk processes that drive predictable revenue. → Strategy & Special Projects: Running cross-functional initiatives from the CEO's office, setting up new categories, and building GTM playbooks for emerging markets. → P&L Management: End-to-end ownership of revenue targets, team productivity, and batch-level profitability across geographies. → Process & Systems Thinking: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (KPMG) - I identify inefficiencies, remove redundancies, and build scalable processes that last. Currently at iamneo (An NIIT Venture), leading Revenue Operations - standardising the sales function, enabling consultative selling, and driving GTM execution for a fast-growing EdTech SaaS platform. Previously: Chief of Staff & Senior Manager at upGrad KnowledgeHut | Senior Strategy Manager at Ninjacart | Associate Director at Simplilearn I bring in a AI first approach. I actively embed AI tools and workflow automation into sales ops, reporting, and cross-functional processes to drive speed and precision. At the core of it all is a customer-centric lens - because sustainable growth only comes when the customer wins too. I'm at my best when the problem is ambiguous, the stakes are high, and the solution requires connecting dots across functions. If you're building something and need a sharp operator who can move fast and think strategically - let's connect.
