Business Generalist | GTM, P&L Ownership & 0-to-1 Execution | Ex-District, Hudle, LIFTR

About

Most people think businesses grow because of great ideas. I think they grow because of great execution. I didn't set out to build businesses. I was supposed to be an engineer who spent more time on a basketball court than in a classroom, until injuries changed that plan. I started by helping people get stronger. Somewhere along the way, I got pulled into a different question: why some teams perform better than others, why some communities stick around and others don't, and why the smallest operational detail can end up mattering more than the big strategic call. That question took me from coaching individuals to building teams, scaling operations, launching businesses, and creating experiences people actually wanted to be part of. Along the way I scaled one business from ₹40L to over ₹5Cr in revenue across 5 locations, including one outside India, and shut another one down four months in when the numbers didn't work. Both taught me more than any framework could have. What I've learned is that growth rarely comes from working harder. It comes from better systems, the right people, and picking problems worth solving in the first place. Right now I'm looking for a generalist or founder's office role with real ownership, somewhere I get to build the next thing rather than maintain the last one.
