About Pratik Rekhate

I love building things that actually work in the real world – especially in sales, operations, and purchase. From defining the vision and product roadmap to testing on the ground with unorganized garages, I enjoy turning ideas into processes that boost revenue, simplify work for mechanics, and create a better client experience. Because I’ve worked across operations, training, and client experience, I design solutions that make sense for every part of the business, not just on paper.
