About

I turn data into decisions and decisions into P&L impact.

Current role
Senior Analytics Manager, Porter
Location
Bangalore, India
Experience
12+ years

I am a business analytics leader with 12+ years in high-growth consumer businesses across quick commerce, e-commerce and mobility — Zepto, Meesho, Porter and Ola. I have built and led teams of up to 26 FTEs, moved organizations from ad-hoc reporting to self-serve analytics, and turned data into measurable P&L impact through pricing, unit economics, supply and customer analytics.

My work centres on metric standardization and one-version-of-the-truth governance, partnering with Data Engineering to own analytical data products, and building AI-native analytics by connecting LLM agents to governed metrics through MCP. I have been a trusted analytics partner to CEO-office and investor-facing initiatives.

I hold an Executive MBA in AI & Emerging Technologies, and before scaling analytics teams I founded and ran an agritech startup end to end.

How I work

Operating principles

One version of the truth

Metrics are defined once, governed centrally and reused everywhere.

Self-serve by default

Analysts should spend time on decisions, not on report requests.

Tied to the P&L

Every analytics investment should trace back to revenue, cost or risk.

AI-native, governance-first

LLM agents are only as trustworthy as the metrics they are grounded in.
