My interest in business started while building an online deals and coupons platform during my second year of Mechanical Engineering at PEC Chandigarh. That curiosity led me to XLRI and has since evolved into a career spanning Corporate Strategy, CEO's Office and digital health. Over the past 7 years at Cipla, I've had the opportunity to help build Cipla Digital Health from the ground up -working across strategy, product, technology, marketing, commercial partnerships and business transformation. I enjoy solving ambiguous business problems, turning ideas into execution and bringing cross-functional teams together to build products and businesses that create meaningful impact. I'm particularly passionate about operating at the intersection of strategy, innovation and execution.
