View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I enjoy building and scaling businesses with Media, Consumer Tech and SaaS being of particular interest. Currently, I head Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) across India & South Asia, and also serve as the Co-Chair of FICCI's Media & Entertainment Board in India. Prior to this, I started and led Uber’s SaaS business across the APAC region, scaling it across 8 countries and with revenues in excess of $200Mn. Before Uber, I was part of the distinguished TAS cadre at the Tata Group for a decade where I worked in Sales, Operations and Consulting roles across a variety of Tech and non-Tech sectors. I also spent a year at the Planning Commission of India (on secondment from TAS) working on the strategies and execution plans to spur Manufacturing growth in the country. I'm on the Advisory Board of a wonderful social enterprise, AMBA (http://www.ambaforlife.org), that works to solve for alternate education and employment solutions to empower the intellectually challenged. I am an investor in, and advisor to multiple startups and routinely lectures at conferences and management/engineering colleges. In 2021, I received IIT Kharagpur's Young Alumni Achievers Award.
