ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-focused Associate Category Manager with expertise in buying strategy, inventory optimization, and vendor relations. I drive revenue growth and enhance brand visibility on leading e-commerce platforms through structured planning and cross-functional execution.
In my current role at Tata Cliq (June’25–Present), I support category planning by aiding execution of monthly brand and CX strategies across internal teams. I also create trend decks for Ethnic Wear attributes and share insights with brands ahead of key festive periods.
Previously at Myntra (April’24–May’25), I managed MyntraForward across multiple categories and drove a threefold increase in business growth. I collaborated with the Category Manager on growth strategy—positioning it as the preferred choice for customers and brand partners—and I negotiated discounts to meet profitability goals.
Earlier at AJIO (July’21–January’24), I spearheaded buying strategy for the footwear category across 30+ brands, generating over ₹200 crore in revenue annually. I improved inventory health with an 85% reduction in deadstock, lowered Non-Live Inventory by 15%, and optimized performance using metrics like ROS, Sell Through, and RGM.
