About

Technology has always fascinated me and an incessant passion to use a combination of technology and business acumen to solve problems of various kinds has structured my career path. I have worked for a couple of leading e-commerce platforms, both in the seller side and buyer side. I graduated with a MBA degree from IIM Bangalore where I primarily opted for courses in the domains of analytics and data science, technology, strategy, marketing and operations. I am zealous about keeping myself updated with the trends in the field. My stints as projects leader at work and colleges have enabled me to be a perseverant individual with a knack for leading teams and working with people to outperform the set targets.
