Fueled by an intrinsic curiosity, which I regard as my greatest asset, I am eager to leverage my extensive background in sales, marketing, business development, and strategic leadership to drive substantial success. With 15+ years of diverse experience spanning e-commerce, retail, digital, technology and education, I have consistently pursued unconventional paths and embraced calculated risks. These experiences have shaped me into a transformative leader adept at driving significant growth and making a meaningful impact.As a co-founder and Chief Business Officer of Strauss, a sports and fitness brand, I spearheaded its rapid ascent to become one of the top 5 sports brands on Amazon and Flipkart, culminating in a successful business exit through its acquisition.. This journey taught me the critical importance of building a strong brand, improving gross margins, and investing in top-tier talent. In my role as Chief Business Officer at Vahdam India, I played a pivotal role in expanding the brand's global presence across 5 countries, driving a fivefold increase in revenue from $5 million to $25 million through a multi-channel approach. I managed a large team, overseeing their efforts to achieve this significant growth. I also played a key role in an INR 174 crore fundraise led by IIFL AMC’s Private Equity fund. Earlier, as a co-founder of Schoolkart.com, I developed a leading e-commerce platform for school supplies that garnered $1.5 million in funding and served over 850 schools & 300,000 students, generating $3 million in annual revenue while maintaining profitability.My tenure at Amazon India provided me with a unique perspective as part of the start-up leadership team for the launch of Amazon.in. I led the launch of the Sports & Fitness categories. I hold a Post Graduate Degree (PGP) in Management from the Indian School of Business (ISB), which has been instrumental in shaping my strategic thinking and leadership skills. My exchange program at SDA Bocconi School of Management in Milan enriched my understanding of cross-cultural & global business strategies.My commitment to exploration and innovation extends beyond my professional career. As a competitive badminton player with aspirations to complete a 10-kilometer swimming marathon, and with extensive travel experience across over 30 countries, I am driven by a passion for continuous learning and tackling complex challenges.There is so much more to learn, so many problems to solve & so many interesting experiences to encounter. And for this, I am extremely grateful.
