A committed cricketer, engineer and entrepreneur who has 5 years of experience in sports-tech business, sports training and team building. Being a co-founder of cricket-innovation brand Freebowler, we developed the first-ever non-electric and portable cricket ball thrower which is patented and commercialized alongside Ravichandran Ashwin as the brand ambassador that sold over 900+ units across 15+ countries with $275,000+ in revenue from 2018 to 2022. I completed my bachelor in Civil Engineering and masters in Highway Technology at RVCE, Bengaluru. I took cricket as profession at an early age and also represented U-16 Karnataka state team and VTU university team. In pursuit to take cricket as profession and to contribute to cricketing fraternity, I joined freebowler as co-founder and COO/CFO. Being a cricketer and coach, it was easy for me to understand the issues faced by the players and coaches which in turn helped me to contribute more to freebowler. I am also a cricket coach at RVCE where I have trained more than 100 players and helped them to build skills and discipline in life. My core competencies are operations, communication, team building, leadership, market research, stakeholder management, business strategy, production management, quality assurance, process optimization and customer experience. In addition, financial analysis, which includes budgeting, financial accounting, forecast and projections, banking procedures, MIS preparation and identifying key parameters and business performance indicators. With commitment and perseverance, I want to bring an impact in development of society and organization.
