What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values innovation and growth.

With over 10 years of experience in the fields of education, drone technology, and SaaS, I have successfully led cross-functional teams in both startup and multinational environments. Currently, I serve as the General Manager at Dronacharya Tech-Hub, where I established an Israeli drone venture aimed at enhancing academic and industry synergies in India. My strategic planning and execution skills have enabled me to craft comprehensive Go-To-Market strategies and build strong relationships with key industry players.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to lead diverse teams, manage operations, and drive business development initiatives. At Intellicar Telematics, I directed pan-India operations for a data startup, overseeing a team of over 50 individuals and implementing IoT and SaaS integrations. My commitment to operational excellence is reflected in my ability to achieve significant cost savings and improve productivity through data-driven decision-making.
