As businesses grow, operations become more complex. Priorities compete, projects lose momentum, communication breaks down, and founders spend more time coordinating work than driving growth.
I help startups, SaaS companies, and founder-led businesses bring structure to operations, improve project delivery, and build execution systems that keep teams aligned, accountable, and moving forward.
I am a PMPยฎ-certified Business Operations & Project Management professional with 13+ years of experience supporting startups and founder-led businesses across the USA, India, UAE, Japan, and Brazil.

โข Built and led 10+ distributed cross-functional teams

โข Teams are working, but output isnโt predictable
โข Founders are stuck in day-to-day execution
โข Thereโs no clear system for managing work, people, or priorities
๐นHow I Help:

โข Business operations & project delivery
โข KPI dashboards, reporting, and operational cadence
โข Team management, hiring, and accountability systems
โข Cross-functional communication across founders, teams, and clients
โข Process automation, workflow optimization, and AI-enabled operations
๐นExecution & Accountability:
I build practical operating systems that improve execution, strengthen accountability, and create visibility across teams so work gets completed consistentlyโnot just planned.

If a process only works because someone remembers to do it manually, it isn't a process. It's a risk.
Most clients reach out when the systems they built no longer match how the business actually runs. A lead falls between platforms. A payment goes through but onboarding never starts. An automation that worked fine six months ago starts failing with real customers. Reporting stops making sense.
The problem is almost never the tool. It's the workflow design underneath it โ the logic that made sense when the business was smaller but hasn't kept up. I find that. I fix it properly. Then I rebuild it so it holds.
What I Work On
CRM & Client Operations: CRM implementations covering the full client lifecycle โ from lead capture to onboarding, payments, and customer management across GHL, Dubsado, Attio, Nimble, HoneyBook, and Monday platform
Business Systems: Airtable and ClickUp implementations that give teams real operational visibility; dashboards, workflow design, process documentation, reporting, and accountability systems built around how the business actually operates.
Automation, AI & Integrations: Automation and AI systems built with Make, Zapier, n8n, APIs, webhooks, Claude, and ChatGPT from workflow automation and data synchronization to reporting, routing, and operational intelligence.
Fintech & Payment Systems: Stripe and beel integrations, recurring billing, subscription management, payment automation, loan lifecycle automation, mortgage operations, financial workflows, and revenue reporting systems.
Digital Operations & Growth Infrastructure: Shopify operations, GTM implementation, Meta Pixel troubleshooting, conversion tracking, attribution audits, marketing automation, funnels, and lead generation systems.
Recent Work
Loan Lifecycle Automation System: A lending business was running operations across disconnected tools with manual handoffs at every stage. I connected GHL, Arive, ClickUp, APIs, and Zapier into one operating workflow. The loan journey is now standardized and the team spends significantly less time on administration.
Multi-Vendor Lead Management Portal: Built an Airtable and Softr platform for a business managing leads across multiple vendors and sales teams. Visibility was fragmented and reporting was manual. The platform now gives each stakeholder role-appropriate access and centralizes reporting in one place.
Dubsado Enrollment & Onboarding System: A service business was managing client enrollment, payments, and onboarding manually across spreadsheets and email. I rebuilt the entire flow in Dubsado. What previously required manual follow-up across multiple stages now runs automatically from inquiry through onboarding.
Assessment Funnel & Course Delivery System: Built an end-to-end sales funnel and course delivery system for a wellness business, including score-based quiz logic, Stripe payment processing, automated course access delivery, and integrations across Systemeio, Carrd, Zapier, and GoDaddy. The entire customer journey โ from assessment to purchase to course access โ runs without manual intervention.
What Clients Say
"Rahul is one of those rare people who not only understands the technical side but also thinks along with the business objectives behind the project. He consistently looked for practical solutions and was willing to go the extra mile to get things working."
โ Website, Funnel & Automation Project
"He not only built and tested the system flawlessly but went above and beyond by conducting a full performance audit to uncover deeper mobile speed issues impacting conversions. His ability to diagnose root causes โ not just surface problems โ demonstrates strong technical expertise and a results-driven mindset."
โ GHL Performance & Conversion Optimization Project
"I only used a small fraction of his capabilities. Rahul has extensive knowledge of AI, automation, websites, funnels, and digital business systems."

How I Work
I audit before I automate. I document before I scale. I test with real data, not sample records.
Most problems I'm hired to fix were caused by someone building quickly without fully understanding how the business operates. I spend time on the workflow first; the dependencies, the exceptions, the edge cases, before touching a single field or automation. When I see a better path than what was originally scoped, I flag it before building, not after.
If you're dealing with broken automations, disconnected systems, onboarding problems, or a CRM that no longer reflects reality: tell me what's happening. I'll tell you where the bottleneck is and exactly how I'd fix it.
