About

I’m a strategic business and product professional with 8 years of experience across the automotive, EV, and quick commerce sectors. My career began in engineering, designing and developing electronic systems for vehicles, before transitioning into product and business strategy roles.At Hero MotoCorp, I worked on the launch of the company’s EV brand and ecosystem around the Vida V1. I led multiple initiatives from early product development to market launch, including projects that improved vehicle performance and customer value. One of the key outcomes was a successful project that increased the scooter’s range from 100 km to 110 km. For my contributions to the launch of the VIDA brand, I was awarded Excellent Performance (FY22–23) by COO Mike Clarke.I was also handpicked by the Managing Director of Hero MotoCorp to participate in a strategic business plan competition as part of the Pathfinder program, where I presented a future mobility business plan to the company’s Board of Directors during the Annual Board Meeting in Shimla.More recently, I completed my MBA in Technology and Business Management from Masters' Union School of Business, where I was on the Dean’s List. I currently work at Blinkit, focusing on franchise and operations strategy, helping scale the quick commerce franchise model and solving complex operational problems.I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, operations, and business strategy, and I’m naturally drawn to problems that require first-principles thinking and cross-functional execution.
