About Rahul Halder

I build profitable categories from scratch and turn around bleeding P & Ls.With 9+ years in B2B marketplaces, I\'ve sat on both sides of the table - owning P&L as a Category Lead (scaling Udaan\'s electronics business to ₹100 Cr+ monthly GMV) and driving partner growth as a Team Lead at Amazon Vendor Services.My track record:→ Scaled East India from 0 to ₹100 Cr monthly GMV as Employee #1 at Udaan→ Built & led 200+ member GTM organization across 3 zones→ Delivered 20% YoY growth for mature Amazon EU vendors→ Reduced category burn by 20% while improving margins→ Awarded \"Mechanism Maverick\" at Amazon for AI-driven automationWhat I bring to the table:Strategic Account Management: I don\'t just manage accounts; I grow them. I\'ve driven 20% YoY growth for mature vendors by identifying \"hidden\" value in supply chain and selection gaps.Mechanism Design: I believe in \"fixing it once.\" I build AI-driven workflows that reduce issue resolution time from hours to minutes.Commercial Ownership: With deep roots in Category Management, I understand the P&L pressures my customers face, allowing me to act as a true strategic advisor rather than just a support contact.Open to connecting with leaders in Customer Success, Strategic Partnerships, Category Management, and B2B Marketplace Strategy.
