My eyes are completely fine :) Previously a top-rated talent on UpWork, making a comeback in 2026. Most founders don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem. And it's costing them runway. I can help you with extreme clarity - 📣 Brand Strategy | 🚀 Product Marketing | 🦄 Product Strategy In the last ten years, I have worked with 50+ clients from all around the world in various marketing and product roles. Also, I have successfully founded, scaled, and exited a digital agency previously. Having worked as a marketer, digital product manager, and entrepreneur, I have a deep understanding of the digital landscape. I am a digital generalist with an unwavering focus on the user, and this is the skillset most growing businesses/startup need. Whether your business is looking for idea validation, seeking product-market fit, or acquiring users, I would love to hear from you. The entrepreneur in me loves connecting and working with founders and business owners from around the globe.

I help founders, investors and leadership teams make better decisions around growth, investments, markets, technology and strategic priorities. My experience includes working with firms such as KPMG and Morgan Stanley, with a background spanning strategy consulting, financial analysis, business cases, technology, commercial assessment and executive decision support. I also hold an MBA from IIM Lucknow and NEOMA Business School and have passed CFA Level I. I am typically brought in when the question is not simply “Can you research this?” but: • Is this company, market or investment opportunity attractive? • Should we launch, invest, acquire, expand or enter? • What is this business actually worth commercially? • How large is the opportunity and what assumptions drive it? • Who are the important competitors and where is the whitespace? • Does the financial case support the strategy? • Which technology investment or transformation path makes the most business sense? • Should we build, buy, partner, migrate or consolidate? • What should we tell investors, management or the board? • How do we turn fragmented information into a defensible recommendation?

I am particularly comfortable with assignments at the intersection of strategy, finance and technology, where the decision requires both commercial judgment and financial discipline. Depending on the assignment, I work with company filings, investor materials, financial information, industry databases, competitor intelligence, primary research and specialist sources including Gartner, Statista, Euromonitor, EMIS, MarketLine and IBISWorld. My approach is simple: understand the decision, identify what actually matters, test the assumptions, build the analysis and give you a clear recommendation. AI has made information easier to find. The value I bring is knowing what to investigate, which assumptions to challenge, how to connect the strategic, technological and financial implications, and what the findings mean for the decision. If you are evaluating a business, investment, technology initiative, market, growth opportunity or strategic decision, send me the situation you are working through.
