17 years at the intersection of strategy and execution — turning ambiguous business problems into structured plans, financial models, and measurable revenue outcomes. I’ve worked across the full spectrum of strategic work: consulting at KPMG, growth strategy at Flipkart, commercial leadership Juspay, and P&L ownership at Razorpay. What connects it all: a bias for data-led decisions, comfort operating at CEO/CXO level, and a track record of converting strategy into tangible business outcomes. What I do best: Business case development & financial modeling — from cold-chain logistics plans that raised institutional capital, to bottom-up revenue projections for new business retail/ E-Commerce lines at scale P&L ownership & monetization strategy — built Razorpay’s Managed Services business from zero: value proposition, pricing architecture, GTM. $XM ARR and $XM+ qualified pipeline in under a year Growth strategy & unit economics — drove $XM+ incremental annual revenue at Flipkart through conversion optimization; launched device warranty and insurance program, saved $XM/month through operational redesign; improved device liquidation by X% Cross-functional execution at scale — served as central owner across Product, Finance, Legal, Sales, and Engineering at Juspay; delivered $XM+ revenue from HDFC Bank’s orchestration platform Operating cadence & leadership frameworks — designed OKR structures, QBRs, and reviews for leadership teams I thrive in roles where the work is ambiguous, the stakes are high, and the output needs to be both analytically rigorous and board-ready. If you’re building a Strategy / BizOps function or looking for a Chief of Staff with commercial acumen, I’d love to connect.
