At Verifone, I managed a $10M+ ARR portfolio and relationships with HDFC, Axis, SBI, Kotak and Yes Bank. I launched Android POS, reaching approximately 40% market share in the banking segment.

At SafexPay, I led a 20-member sales team to 30% YoY revenue growth and closed enterprise accounts including CarDekho Group, Goicar and Max Life Insurance. I also identified $5M+ in cross-sell opportunities and scaled Payment Gateway, Payouts and Neobanking solutions.

At Ezetap, I owned North India P&L and go-to-market strategy, onboarded enterprise merchants including LG, Samsung and Whirlpool, and managed bank alliances. At Innoviti, I headed North India key accounts for Loan@POS and launched Loan@POS-as-a-Service for OYO Rooms and Walmart.

I now advise fintech and technology-led businesses on market entry, partnerships and revenue strategy. I’ve also designed a billing-and-payments integration model and onboarded an enterprise for a Supply Chain Finance company.
