## Headline

Growth /Chief of Staff \| Ex\-Bain \| India & SEA Head \| Fintech, Healthcare l XLRI Jamshedpur

## About

I help growth\-stage companies scale — through sharper GTM strategy, high\-leverage partnerships, and cross\-functional execution\. Currently heading India & SEA at MPOWER Financing \(pre\-IPO US fintech\) — managing $80M in AUM, leading a 180\+ partner network, and delivering $10M/month in loan offer acceptance\. Fast\-tracked to Associate Director in 1 year\. Before this, I ran the Founder's Office, cut digital CAC 4x, and represented MPOWER in 16\+ investor meetings\. Before fintech, I spent \~5 years in management consulting — at Bain & Company post\-MBA \(XLRI, CAT 99\.5%ile\) and ZS Associates before that\. 10\+ PE diligences, C\-suite workshops, and full\-potential strategy projects across India, EMEA, and the US\. What I bring to a Series B/C/D\+ company: the operator instinct to execute \+ the consulting rigor to structure ambiguity\. Open to Chief of Staff, Growth, and Strategic Partnerships roles in India & SEA\. Additionally, I have always been helping my peers with job search \- as Placecommer and in lateral placements\. Thought of creating an AI powered interview\-prep tool for Senior Business Roles\. Link: https://interview\-prep\-tool\.up\.railway\.app/ Do check it out and let me know if there is any feedback\!
