About

I am a strategy and finance leader with experience across consumer technology, e-commerce, the EV sector, real estate, data analytics and investments. Over the last decade, I have partnered with founders, CEOs, and Boards on enterprise strategy, financial leadership, and operating execution. I currently serve as Vice President – Finance & Corporate Strategy at Entuple E-Mobility, where I head Corporate Strategy and the finance function, working closely with the CEO and Board. I lead annual operating planning, Board and investor engagement, and end-to-end fundraising. I also drive select customer relationships and commercial discussions, while owning investor communications, driving capital raise execution, and building the financial governance, controls, and reporting frameworks required for scale. Previously, I held leadership roles at ZEE5 and JioSaavn, driving subscription growth, monetization, and international expansion. Prior to that, I worked across investment banking, analytics, and investment advisory roles covering consumer technology and real assets. This combination of strategy, finance, data analytics and operating experience enables me to translate high-level priorities into disciplined financial and operating outcomes.
