I am Shivdas, I am DESIGN THINKER & PRODUCT STRATEGIST. A RESEARCHER; An OBSERVER; A DESIGNER an individual with serious goals. I enjoy working in a team and I am APPROACHABLE for my mates. I did my MBA in Rural Management from WeSchool Mumbai. Currently I am building ERP integrations for enterprises and businesses who uses Netsuite/oracle ERPs. While I was working with CredAble, I have experience of building 'Invoice Discounting' SaaS/BaaS/PaaS products for enterprise businesses and lending institutions.

I handled a product suite of 13+ products including government initiatives such as CGTMSE, AIF, PMFME & ECLGS etc. in B2B Retail category. As part of SIP (MBA) ,I had designed BUSINESS REVIVAL STRATEGY for COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE “Project Skycity” for GVK-MIAL. I had surveyed 90+ premium fine dine restaurants in Mumbai for the LIVE PROJECT I did with Cresla Technologies. Along with these projects I got an opportunity to spent 15 days in Rural tribal areas (Aine, Palghar) to study the FINANCIAL INCLUSION & BANKING STRUCTURE at Grassroot level which helped me to acquire a knowledge about RURAL MARKETS. I enjoy brainstorming over the CASE STUDIES. I was National finalist & second Runner Up of STRAT-JACK Contract Farming Strategy Case Study competition oraganized by FABM, IIM Ahmadabad for consecutive 2 years (2019 & 20). GRAPHIC DESIGNING, STORY BOARDING & CONTENT CREATION is something I enjoy to do in my free time.
