About
I am a business strategy expert with 20+ years of experience in advising and leading companies across diverse sectors and geographies. As the Head of Strategy at HFCL Limited, I create resilient revenue streams by reimagining future business context, developing their strategy, and extracting maximum value from investments using monetization opportunities in core or adjacency. In my previous roles, I have helped clients launch many innovative businesses with Digital and AI (Artificial Intelligence) such as Payment Bank, Smart Mall, SaaS platforms for Big Data Analytics and Marketing, and encrypted Communications. I have also consulted large technology MNCs, Government bodies, and micro-entrepreneurs on growth strategy, mergers & acquisitions, PMI, platform models, product development, market entry, customer experience, and digital enablement. I am passionate about leveraging technology and data to create positive impact and value for customers, stakeholders, and society for which I was awarded as the Top 10 Chief Strategist in India for 2023.
