14 years of experience across entrepreneurship, business strategy, engineering, and product management. From the start of my career, I've built, developed, and led teams of high-performing professionals. Five years of profitable, bootstrapped business instilled values of sustainability, value arbitrage, and most importantly - team building. After selling my startup to Practo, have donned multiple hats each driving strong P&L impact across functions and business lines. Creating valuable products/services that are powered by strong go-to-market strategies is core to what I do. First-principles thinking, data-driven decision-making, and a hands-on approach across functions have enabled me to be effective.
