Strategic operations and turnaround leader driving supply‑chain, e‑commerce and recovery outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic operations and business turnaround leader with 21+ years of experience across logistics, rail freight, supply chain, e‑commerce and apparel manufacturing. I have built and scaled operations from ground zero, negotiated with government and lenders, and stabilized distressed businesses under volatile conditions.
As an entrepreneur and corporate leader I launched bestselling consumer brands (FOCKER®, MYNTE®), pioneered bamboo apparel in India, co‑developed specialized rail containers and led multimodal logistics initiatives including the first containerized Tata Nano movements. I combine P&L ownership, procurement and vendor development with hands‑on execution in cash‑constrained environments.
Currently I am building PulseLifeX—an advisory practice focused on turnaround, debt restructuring (OTS) and cash‑flow recovery—while pursuing an LL.B. and integrating AI/LLM tools into consulting workflows to enhance research, documentation and client delivery.
