At Tata CliQ Luxury, I improved category efficiency from 58.6% to 66.7% in FY27 YTD by addressing seller rejections, RTO, and customer returns. I also drove 170% year-over-year growth for portfolio brands such as Oroh and generated ₹50L+ in annual monetization revenue through brand visibility, paid placements, and promotions.

I launched global brands including ON, Nike, ECCO, Crocs, Nine West, and Palladium, and supported New Balance's outright launch. I also resolved critical API, SAP, and inventory issues while managing seller operations across inventory, orders, finance, and reconciliation.

At Freedom Tree Design Studio, I managed the textile category's product lifecycle across 1,200+ SKUs. I reduced long-tail unsold inventory by 49%, helped reduce stockouts by 70%, and launched five seasonal collections with design, marketing, and supply chain teams.
