About

I've spent the better part of 20 years being handed businesses that needed to be fixed, scaled, or built from scratch — and figuring out how to do it. At Google, where I spent nearly 15 years, I was brought in to build India's advertiser growth engine after a period of missed targets and declining productivity. We turned a -9% YoY decline into 100%+ growth within 12 months, scaled a $200M+ P&L, and built an acquisition model that became a reference point across APAC. Along the way I led teams of 100–200 people across direct sales, inside sales, agency, and marketing — and progressed through five leadership roles, each one a larger and more complex mandate than the last. After Google, I took on turnaround and market-building roles at Uber Eats (India & South Asia), Paytm — where I scaled the payment aggregator business 10X in 24 months and built a partner ecosystem spanning 17+ banks and 200+ channel partners — and Verifone, where I served as CEO & Country Head for India & South Asia with full P&L and board accountability. I'm now Chief Business Officer at foundit, one of Asia's largest recruitment platforms, leading B2B and B2C revenue across India, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf. The mandate: scale what's working, build what isn't yet, and make the business durable. Across industries — AdTech, FoodTech, FinTech, HRTech — the pattern has been consistent: come in where growth is stalled or absent, rebuild the foundation, and create something that sustains. Particularly interested in how AI and cloud platforms are redefining enterprise GTM in Asia — and how the distribution playbooks I've built translate directly to platform-led growth. Always open to a conversation.
