What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my entrepreneurial skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on innovative product development and market strategies.

I am an enthusiastic and results-driven entrepreneur with over 7 years of experience in the startup ecosystem. As the co-founder of WABS - Without a Break, I have been instrumental in conceptualizing and executing business strategies that focus on promoting good health through plant-based and gluten-free snacks. My journey has involved extensive market research, business development, and growth hacking, successfully selling over 80,000 products across 8 states in India.

Prior to my venture with WABS, I served as a Manager for Programmes & Partnerships at DLabs Incubator, where I facilitated the growth of early and growth-stage startups. My role involved designing unique acceleration programs and collaborating with various stakeholders to support entrepreneurs in scaling their operations. My academic background includes a Master’s in Development Studies from the London School of Economics, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in economics and strategic business development.
