I have studied at IIT and IIM and worked at an executive level with multiple start-ups/scale-ups. My strength and passion is in scaling organizations through clear thinking and relentless execution. LinkedIn had identified me as the one of the Top Voices in India for three years in a row (2016, 2017, and 2018).
