About Me

A decade connecting
strategy with markets

I am a Dynamic Tech-Business Hybrid professional with over a decade of cross-sector international experience spanning Automotive, FMCG, Insurance, Fintech, Health & Wellness, and Digital Education across South Asian markets — primarily Nepal and India.

Holding a PGDM (MBA-equivalent) in Marketing & Finance from IIPM Pune, a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from ACME Engineering College, and the Global Leadership & Innovation Program credential from Imperial College Business School London — I bring analytical depth and strategic execution together. I hold 11 professional certifications spanning Anthropic Claude AI, AWS, Google Analytics, CCNA, and Project Management.

I have a proven track record in orchestrating data-driven performance marketing campaigns, full-funnel customer acquisition, and B2B/B2C omnichannel distribution networks — with published commentary on AI, business, and public policy in South Asia.
