I oversee performance across Amazon, Flipkart, and D2C channels, with end-to-end ownership of Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies, omnichannel retail execution, new product development, brand launches, and ATL/BTL communications—all under full P&L accountability.My previous roles have strengthened my expertise in marketing strategy, business planning, sales strategy, and pricing, enabling me to deliver sustained growth and brand differentiation in competitive markets.Recognized for an analytical, data-driven approach and strong bias for action, I consistently deliver measurable impact. My ability to thrive in cross-cultural environments has been a defining strength throughout my career.Outside work, I am an avid explorer with interests in food, travel, and reading non-fiction.
