About

I build strategy & operations from zero. Right now, I'm leading Zolo's new hospitality vertical end-to-end Operations — having launched 7 properties to date, all profitable, on a budget-friendly short-stay model. The same pattern got me here, across four other industries: diagnose the Operating bottleneck, design the strategy to remove it, scale it fast. → Founded and launched a D2C brand end-to-end — compliance, sourcing, pricing, team, distribution — 3,800 units sold in the first quarter. → Built Loop Health's Diagnostics vertical as the first person on the team — 8-city supply network, 15+ B2B deals, ₹1Cr in year-one revenue. → Scaled Toothsi's Bangalore operations 7.5x (₹16L→₹2Cr/month) by redesigning city zoning, then launched Chennai from 0 to ₹1Cr/month in 5 months. → Took a new BD vertical at Vedantu to ₹1Cr revenue in 10 months — fastest ramp in company history - then became the org's youngest manager, leading a 15-person team. Executive MBA (IIM Indore) along the way, to sharpen the leadership and strategy side of building. Open to conversations.
