## Headline

Supply Operations & New Initiatives at Medibuddy \| Ex \- Porter, Titan I IIM,Udaipur

## About

I'm an operations leader with 11\+ years of experience building and running the supply, fulfillment and delivery engines behind scaling businesses across healthtech, logistics and retail\. What I enjoy most is operations done well: designing a network from zero, setting the SLAs and SOPs that keep it reliable, and protecting unit economics as volume grows\. At MediBuddy, I lead a 50\+ member team running supply, fulfilment, catalog and provider operations for India's largest digital healthcare marketplace\. That includes building the OPD and Health Check network for 500\+ B2B clients \(11,000\+ labs, 75,000\+ doctors, 7,000\+ Pincodes\), sustaining 98%\+ fulfilment and 90%\+ partner retention\. Earlier, I launched Porter's Kolkata operations from scratch with sub\-10\-minute service SLAs, and owned a ₹250Cr\+ regional P&L at Tanishq, where sales grew 70% in two years and NPS rose from 46 to 75\. I work best where execution meets strategy: partnering with founders and cross\-functional leaders, using data, automation and technology to make operations measurable and repeatable\. I care about building teams that grow with the business\.
