Arahanth Mithielesh Yadav
@arahanthmithieleshya
Business strategy and category leader driving GTM, P&L and double-digit growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a business strategy and category leader with over 10 years of experience building GTM plans, owning P&L, and scaling B2B operations in fast-paced marketplaces. I have launched new verticals, built high-performing teams, and consistently delivered double-digit and sustained month-on-month growth.
At Udaan, I built the HoReCa vertical in Bangalore from scratch, managed thousands of B2B buyers with strong retention, and owned full-city P&L responsibilities that produced rapid GMV and margin improvements. I have led category launches, private-label rollouts, and marketplace-to-inventory transitions that generated significant new revenue.
I combine data-driven decision making, cross-functional execution, and strong stakeholder management to convert strategy into measurable results. I am open to Consulting, Strategy, BizOps, GTM, or Category leadership roles where I can drive growth, improve operations, and mentor teams.
