About

India is leapfrogging developed nations in democratizing digital at scale and it's a privilege to have a ring-side view into this action in two contrasting industries - a tech-rich space like BFSI and a tech-deficit space such Logistics and Road Transportation. As the COO for an early-stage start-up that is funded by a large conglomerate, i worked with stakeholders in the transportation industry in pushing digital adoption across areas that can help reduce process deficiencies while increasing fleet-owner viability. And currently as CDO for a large NBFC, i am setting up a Digital Transformation Office to drive change through digital. In the past, i have worked with Cognizant Technologies, TechMahindra and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in leadership roles across business strategy, P&L ownership, client relationship management with CXOs, industry solutions, pre-sales, large deals solutions, marketing, and delivery and program management. In recent past and prior to my current role, I have worked closely with global clients and partners in solutioning and delivering large digital transformation programs primarily in transportation and travel domains.
