Harshad Sontakke

I’m a Strategy, Insights & Business Planning leader with 10+ years of experience translating market, partner, and business data into executive narratives, actionable insights, and growth strategies across AdTech and EdTech businesses.

Most recently, I drove 155% revenue growth (₹4.71 Cr → ₹12.02 Cr) by turning market and performance insights into strategic growth initiatives across a ₹75 Cr+ portfolio. I built executive dashboards covering revenue, forecasting, conversion, partner performance, and business KPIs—improving forecast accuracy from 70–75% to 90–95%—and created 18–20 quarterly market intelligence and competitive analysis reports plus sales enablement materials.

I partner closely with stakeholders to identify growth opportunities, analyzing performance across 200+ partners/vendors and leading QBRs with 50+ strategic partners. I also leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM, Gamma) to accelerate research and reporting by 80%+, supported go-to-market strategies and business cases that contributed to ₹60 Cr+ annual revenue, and previously scaled category revenue 14x through market research, demand forecasting, and growth planning.
