About Aashish Thapa

"๐˜ ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ." โฃโฃThis mantra perfectly captures my dynamic 8-year career journeyโ€”evolving from audit and operational advisory to project management in e-commerce and data analytics, where my passion and strengths truly converge. My dedication to reinvention and hunger for growth has fuelled a path once dreamed of and now realized, despite the challenges along the way.โฃโฃAt Daraz (Alibaba Group), I worked closely with COO and supply chain heads to deliver high-impact projects, including expanding Express Delivery service, leading PMO execution for biggest campaign (11.11), cross-border operations, revenue management and strategic planning. A highlight was driving a critical project to build a logistics business vertical from 0 to 1, leveraging market intelligence, research and a keen eye for product-market fit. My approach is rooted in data-driven decisions, customer obsession and spotting opportunities amidst the complexities of fast-paced environments through collaboration.โฃโฃA brief stint at Flipkart (Walmart Group) deepened my passion for data analytics, inspiring me to pursue a flexible off-campus degree in Data Science. Currently, I'm on the journey to earning my PMP certification, strengthening my competency in project management and strategic planning.โฃโฃAs a curious self-starter with 360-degree approach, strong analytical & project management skill, I am constantly exploring and looking at new ways of achieving operational excellence while growing and making a difference, every day!
