What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and lead high-impact work in fintech/financial services—owning growth, partnerships, and product delivery with data-driven execution, fast iteration, and measurable outcomes for customers and clients.

I’m a founder and finance professional who turns strategy into measurable outcomes across acquisition, partnerships, and structured delivery. I’ve mentored 200+ candidates and driven a 94% success rate for top-tier IIM WAT/PI admissions through repeatable, multi-channel execution.

Most recently, I scaled IIM LOANS by leveraging networks, automation, and disciplined pipeline management—reaching 1,000+ students with daily engagement, facilitating ₹5+ Cr in loan disbursements, and onboarding 10+ lenders through strategic B2B partnerships. I also converted 30+ students using a comprehensive lead-generation approach and recruited/upskilled a 5-person digital marketing team.

Before founding, I led high-impact initiatives at Finiq Consulting and built product and delivery credibility in structured finance. I directed a $3M SCB initiative, supported compliant document generation for UBS WM (scaling 200+ structured products), onboarded 30+ external asset managers for LGT Bank, and helped architect a sell-side order management system adopted by 10+ major banking clients—earning SRP APAC “Best Issuance Platform” recognition alongside EQConnect.
