Senior operations and supply-chain leader using analytics to grow categories and cut losses.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Manager focused on design and planning, category growth, and operational execution—always anchored to measurable AOP alignment. I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams and built supply chain and inventory analytics that translate directly into efficiency and margin.
In my recent role at Vegrow, I spearheaded a 6-member team to drive 75% alignment with AOP targets, designed supply chain KPIs and risk models (improving operational efficiency by 11%), and developed an inventory analytics dashboard that cut inventory losses by 40%. I’ve also deployed ERP for 6 partners with weekly reconciliation to streamline end-to-end workflows.
Earlier, I scaled fruits and expanded categories across Udaan, owning P&L for Fruits and building teams and sourcing strategies that improved margins and throughput (including Warehouse Management System across 30 cities). I bring a strong product-and-operations mindset from launching and scaling marketplace and fintech initiatives as a founding member and co-founder, with a consistent focus on customer experience, retention, and execution discipline.
