I build growth strategies, cost transformations, and AI-enabled consulting solutions.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At McKinsey, I build AI-enabled diagnostic tools and growth strategies for global clients. My work has identified AI use cases across 80+ clients while reducing turnaround time by 80%.
I've led export expansion, market-entry, product-development, dealer-network, and cost-optimization initiatives across automotive parts, tractors, and tiles. These efforts included a $100M export opportunity, $140M market potential, 45% raw-material cost reduction per meter, and 75% per-piece cost reduction through supplier localization.
Before McKinsey, I worked in Deals & Strategy at PwC on business strategy and commercial due diligence across infrastructure, manufacturing, agri-tech, and textiles. I also developed a last-mile delivery product at Delhivery that was deployed across 20+ states and improved efficiency by 60%+.
I'm an IIM Bangalore MBA and NIT Rourkela Institute Silver Medalist, with a background in Electronics and Instrumentation. I bring structured problem-solving, market analysis, business-case development, and technology-led transformation experience to high-impact growth challenges.
