An Empathetic Problem Solver and found my calling in the startup ecosystem. I’ve experienced the highs and lows of being a founder and the ZERO to SCALED journey is second nature to me. Among my noteworthy milestones, I established the product functions and spearheaded the growth of BookMyShow.com into an $800M business. I successfully navigated a turnaround and product pivot of Lovelocal.in into a B2B SaaS and B2C hyperlocal marketplace business for local retail. Additionally, I was part of the acquisition journey at two business entities.
