From my early days in the tech space to leading transformative growth in electric mobility, supply chain logistics and sustainable business practices, I’ve navigated a journey of 22 years marked by continuous evolution. As a Chief Operating Officer and Business Head, I’ve had the privilege of building businesses from the ground up, driving decarbonization initiatives, and scaling new verticals that align profit with purpose. My experience spans global markets—from India and Indonesia to the U.S. and Germany—where I’ve managed P&L responsibilities, transformed operations, and led multicultural teams to realize substantial growth.My career has been a blend of hands-on leadership and strategic foresight. At Lithium Urban Technologies, I guided a fleet of over 1,600 electric vehicles across 11 cities, scaling adoption of sustainable mobility and boosting revenue by 250%. My time with Sical Supply Chain Solutions saw us launch a cold chain logistics business, boosting profitable market share in an evolving QSR market. And during my tenure at DHL, I expanded market presence and profits in India and Indonesia, landing major contracts that solidified our regional footprint.What fuels me is the challenge of translating high-impact ideas into sustainable, scalable solutions. Whether it’s pioneering an electric fleet or introducing cold chain logistics or driving innovation in Logistics real estate, my goal is to drive organizations forward, building a future where business growth aligns with our social and environmental responsibilities.I am on a purposeful journey toward entrepreneurship. I am driven by my passion towards transformative change for Climate Action and sustainable innovation to achieve Net Zero. My career reflects a deliberate progression through roles that have deepened my strategic acumen and expanded my business capabilities, all while preparing me for the exciting challenge of leading and building businesses.
