AVAILABLE · FOUNDER'S OFFICE

Founder's Office Strategic Executioner.

I've always enjoyed finding clarity in complexity. In my founder's office journey, that meant translating business questions into data-driven decisions — tracking ₹7 crore+ investment opportunities, analyzing marketing performance across three business verticals, and supporting ₹40 lakh in revenue growth. By developing 20+ analytics dashboards with LLMs, Power BI, SQL and Excel, I helped teams understand CAC and ROI.

The story behind the title.

Today I sit inside founder's offices building the rails: investor workflows for AIF schemes, SOPs that move on-time delivery 65% → 90%, and decks that close fundraises.

I'm the operator founders bring in when an idea needs to become a shipped, measurable outcome — not next quarter, this week.
