Experience
Senior Program Manager
Jan 2026 — Present · Gurugram, IN
Leading the launch and growth of new cities across India — owning end-to-end P&L and turning blank maps into scalable, profitable markets- My work lives at the intersection of strategy and execution: understanding new geographies, setting up operations, aligning cross-functional teams, and creating playbooks that help Spinny grow faster and smarter- What excites me most is the 0→1 journey — building teams, solving real-world problems, and seeing a city go from its first transaction to a thriving business.I believe great businesses are built by strong fundamentals, clear ownership, and relentless execution. Always curious. Always building.
