My story

My story

I grew up in Jammu, in a fourth-generation business family, and went to Delhi Public School there. I started doing real business work in 2019, running marketing for Indikraft, a Jammu handicrafts business, and taking it online: revenue rose 45% and the new D2C channel reached 20% of sales.

I founded Cairros, a consulting and marketing agency, at 18, during my BBA at Symbiosis in Pune, and scaled it to seven-figure annual revenue across four sectors in two years, owning strategy, sales and delivery end to end. Alongside it I worked with Equip9, a construction-tech startup, where segmentation-led acquisition drove 300% profit growth.

At PwC India I spent fifteen months in risk consulting and was promoted to Specialist 2 within a year. I delivered ₹6+ Cr in annual client cost savings for clients including Cars24, Stryker India and PIF, worked on mandates in the UAE and West Africa, and co-built an internal audit AI tool that saved 10,000+ consulting hours across 200+ consultants.

Then I moved to the operator side. On the founding team at ZenCabs, an EV cab startup in Jammu, I helped scale it to 30,000+ users and a ₹4 Cr annualised run-rate in six months. Refocusing on the top six demand zones took fleet utilisation from 40% to 75%, and dispatch SOPs cut driver-side cancellations from 40% to 6%.

Today I am on the PGP in Technology & Business Management at Masters’ Union, and I am looking at Founder’s Office, Chief of Staff and strategy roles, where consulting structure meets operator speed.
