What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead growth and AI-driven product initiatives, optimize revenue and retention, and build cross-functional BI and automation systems in a fast-paced, data-driven team.

I have led cross-functional teams (up to 13 people), managed large-scale P&L operations (₹15 crore daily), and delivered measurable retention and reactivation improvements.

I build AI-driven marketing automation and BI systems, develop SaaS/AI products, and execute hypothesis-led growth strategies that optimize CAC and LTV. My work includes launching AI-powered e-commerce tools, delivering 300% revenue growth in a UK market engagement, and generating multimillion-dollar revenues through product innovation and strategic sales initiatives.
