Vishal Kumar Behera
@vishalkumarbehera
I lead strategy and operations, scaling businesses with C-suite alignment, automation, and measurable cost savings.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategy & Operations professional with C-suite interface experience, currently leading a railway services business across 5+ sites with full commercial, operational, and stakeholder ownership. I partner directly with senior leadership to drive strategy, ensuring alignment between objectives and on-ground execution. I’ve been scaling the revenue from INR 1.4 Cr to a targeted INR 28 Cr annually.
I deliver measurable impact through execution and transformation. I’ve delivered INR 600k+ annualized cost savings and reduced delivery TAT by 50% through vendor consolidation, process redesign, and operational optimization, while strengthening governance and execution reliability.
I also lead technology-enabled performance improvements. I led an organization-wide Salesforce transformation impacting 100+ users across 10+ business functions, building workflow automation and KPI visibility frameworks—driving a 60% improvement in operational efficiency. I spearheaded 2 technology initiatives from the ground up, including an on-ground data tracking and dashboarding system for leadership visibility and a new Salesforce application development.
Before this, I built go-live readiness for a new investment advisory vertical as an Investment Advisory Consultant, designing operating frameworks and launch strategy. Earlier, as a GenAI Intern, I supported development of an AI-powered analytics platform integrating SQL and marketplace APIs, translating business requirements into scalable analytical solutions—bringing a hands-on, cross-functional approach to every initiative.
