What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in operations where I can scale teams and processes, drive data-led improvements, and build cross-functional systems in a growth-oriented company.

I am an operations leader with 6+ years building scalable hyperlocal operations across India, experienced in designing SOPs, KPI-driven dashboards, and end-to-end operational models that improved retention and reduced turnaround times. I have led cross-functional initiatives, hired and managed teams and large freelancer networks, and launched monetization and compliance workflows with measurable impact.

I also bring entrepreneurial experience running an events business and a D2C apparel brand, owning product, supply chain, and vendor ecosystems. I combine data-driven decision making, rigorous process optimization, and hands-on execution to deliver growth, quality, and operational resilience.
