About Akshit Datta

I love solving problems with a user first approach. This along with my highly adaptive and data led approach to solutioning and building solid relationships with stakeholders, are my biggest strengths that I bring to the table. My expertise spans business development and client management, but my real excitement comes from crafting and executing growth strategies from the ground up.I started my career in real estate valuations and was fortunate to land at MICA, Ahmedabad for my MBA where I fell in love with consumer companies. Since then, I have not looked back and evolved into a professional who has a holistic approach to growing a business whether through sales channels, category growth or new market expansion.With over 10 years of experience, I\'ve led teams and built valuable partnerships within the food sector. I\'ve worked on projects that are both fascinating and operationally intensive, like the Zomato Instant initiative and designing go-to-market strategies for new app features.Recently, I had a chance to work on a very exciting learning project with an incredible team of individuals with GrowthX where we developed an all round strategy to grow revenue for one of the Fintech apps in India to 2.5x. We won their flagship event - Demo Day 20.Today, I\'m at the intersection of building strong key stakeholder relationships and devising holistic growth strategies. This is where I see myself creating the maximum value for the organizations I work with.Some of the key projects I’ve led and involved in- Creating a new buying experience on the app for users for Indian Mithai on the Zomato app, aiming for an annual GMV exceeding INR Cr- Scaled Zomato Instant to 50+ partners onboard leading to monthly orders- Expanding the online ordering network in Delhi NCR, partnering with over vendors and achieving an annual GMV of around INR 180 Cr- Launching MTR Foods\' 3-minute breakfast range in more than stores across the Greater Punjab region.
