ABOUT PURNAM KUSHWAHA

I am an engineer by degree, an entrepreneur by instinct, and a strategist by choice.I started my journey building products and businesses from scratch. As a founder, I built and scaled a B2B SaaS and loyalty platform that helped hotels and restaurants grow revenue, increase repeat customers, and think beyond discounts. Along the way, I led teams, worked with marquee hospitality brands, won government-backed innovation awards, and learned the hard way that building a company teaches you more than any MBA ever could.After several years of entrepreneurship, I moved into the corporate world to apply the same zero fluff, outcome driven thinking at scale.Today, I work as Senior Manager, Strategy at Wish, where I focus on business and financial strategy across marketing, operations, and finance. My work sits at the intersection of growth planning, cash flow management, vendor negotiations, and decision making under real constraints. In simple words, I help businesses survive tough phases and come out sharper.What defines me:• Strong first principles thinking• A founder’s mindset with operator discipline• Comfort with ambiguity, numbers, and tough conversations• A belief that strategy only matters if it actually works on Monday morningIf you like honest conversations about business, strategy, startups, we will get along just fine.
