About

I've spent the last few years building things from the ground up not in theory, but on the ground. Before my MBA, I ran F&B and category operations for a hospitality business in Visakhapatnam. That meant owning the P&L, launching a QSR brand (Hungry Garage) from scratch, managing Swiggy and Zomato listings, running paid campaigns, building corporate accounts with companies like HPCL and KIMS, and handling everything from vendor negotiations to large-scale events. Most of it was figured out without a playbook. At 7 Star Impex during my MBA internship, I worked on B2B market development mapping 9 industrial sectors, building buyer personas, and developing sales enablement frameworks that the field team actually used. Just finished my MBA at IIM Nagpur (batch of 2026) and actively exploring roles in growth, category, and ops roles in consumer and food-tech. What I'm good at: spotting gaps, building from zero, making things work on the ground, and translating messy real-world data into decisions that move numbers. Open to opportunities feel free to reach out.
