ABOUT BHARAT BALLAL
I build and run businesses - not finance functions. Currently co-owning a Cr+ marketplace, I work at the intersection of revenue, margins, and commercial strategy. My job is to make the business grow profitably, and to make sure execution catches up with ambition. Over 14 years across e-commerce, EV, SaaS, manufacturing, and construction, I\'ve operated in two modes: building from scratch, and scaling what already works. At Ola Electric, I joined at near-zero and helped build the commercial and financial backbone for India\'s fastest-growing EV brand - GTM frameworks, D2C pricing, cost architecture, and the operating cadence that enabled rapid scale. At RetailEZ, I co-own a Cr+ business with the CEO and CFO - driving ₹100 Cr+ in measurable impact through pricing, vendor strategy, category margin governance, and structural cost interventions. What I bring to a leadership role- Business ownership instinct, not finance oversight - Ability to translate strategy into execution at speed - Sharp commercial judgment backed by data - Experience running P&L, AOP, and cross-functional teams
