Message

At Nivoda, I scaled the Gems marketplace from fragmented supplier listings to 45K stones by building a global auto-mapper that reduced go-live time by 90%. I also launched a curated selection that delivered 3x higher STR and 5x lower returns.

I built WISE, a certification brand with 40+ grading parameters, and owned delivery across grading software, supplier ERP integrations, and digital certificates. I also deployed AI-enabled media processing that blocked around 100K inaccurate stones from the catalogue.

At Lava International Ltd, I led 5G smartphone development from concept to market, contributing to a roadmap that acquired 3M+ users and generated ₹2500 Cr+ in revenue. Earlier, as Co-Founder at Chirrup Infotech, I helped grow a social gaming platform to 100K MAU and secured USD 300K in seed funding.
