What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own growth planning and market entry end-to-end—using data, partner alignment, and practical execution to expand footprints, improve profitability, and build durable franchise or service pipelines.

I’m a business development manager focused on growth planning and market entry, translating customer insights and competitive signals into franchise-ready expansion plans. At Yum! Brands, I led KFC India & South Asia market expansion—delivering 240+ store launches and a 7% revenue increase, while onboarding partners across emerging markets and strengthening governance to keep rollout targets aligned.

Previously, as a consultant, I built multi-year growth strategies and market entry models—creating a 7-year roadmap for a ₹400 Cr client that delivered 28% annual revenue growth, and developing an “Attractiveness – Do-ability” framework to recommend 11 new services across 13 new markets. I also bring operational excellence from process mapping through automation (including chatbots) to improve CSAT by 24% and reduce resolution time by 42%, and I’ve supported due diligence and investee growth through acquisition evaluation and post-merger synergy work.
