Vice President @ Paytm | Forbes 30under30 Asia 2021 | SharkTank Season 3

About

Excited to be the VP at Paytm, leading business and P&L! 🚀 I've 'traded my startup gold mine for a dream of a new treasure map' and am ready to drive growth and innovation. My journey is built on 10+ years of entrepreneurship. As Founder of Plus Gold, a unique gold savings app for future jewellery purchases, we memorably secured a lucrative deal on Shark Tank India Season 3. This experience, combined with being a Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia honoree and a TedX speaker (sharing insights on scaling innovative products with AI & marketing), has deeply shaped my approach. Previously, as CMO at Veda Labs (video analytics SaaS), I led marketing strategy and aligned sales with product goals. I've also mentored startups at Project Guerrilla, guiding them on digital growth and user psychology. These roles honed my expertise in product development, online & social media marketing, and new business development. Now at Paytm, I bring that same founder's drive to my role, blending it with a passion for AI, strategic marketing, and that 'dash of stardust' from my interests in space exploration and design – which always sparks innovation.
