What I'm looking for

I'm looking to translate ambitious leadership priorities into scalable operating systems, high-impact programs, and disciplined cross-functional execution in AI, deep-tech, innovation, or mission-driven organizations.

I'm part of the CEO's Office at a confidential AI/Physical Intelligence joint venture, driving strategic initiatives across deep-tech and innovation-led businesses. I translate leadership priorities into scalable business outcomes through structured operating rhythms and cross-functional execution.

At INK Talks, I built the social impact and consulting vertical from zero and delivered #RestartIndia with Muthoot Fincorp, supporting 300+ nano-entrepreneurs while increasing customer reach by 20% and revenue by 30%. I also designed a Salesforce-supported STEM program that earned a 98% NPS and led major partner events including the Singularity University India Summit.

Previously, I built N Coldpressed' operating backbone, scaling its workforce from 3 to 40+ and implementing ERP processes that improved productivity by 83%. My earlier work at Dr. Reddy's Laboratories combined intellectual-property strategy, product-launch support, and cross-functional program management.
