Leading Commercial Operations with Purpose

Sustainable businesses face a unique challenge: how to grow commercially while staying true to their values. I've built my career solving exactly that—turning mission-driven organizations into profitable, scalable enterprises.

Over five years, I've led commercial operations at impact-driven organizations, managing Fortune 500 client accounts across the US, UK, and South Africa. My work spans from building B2B sales playbooks that increased revenue by 50% to facilitating circular economy workshops for companies like IKEA, JPMorgan, and Target.

What makes me different? I bring a unique trifecta of Planet, People, and Profit. I translate complex sustainability concepts into commercial strategies. I bridge technical innovation with cultural capital. And I do it all with the agility and resourcefulness that comes from five years in the startup ecosystem.

Now at Edinburgh Business School, I'm building the leadership and analytical skills to scale this impact—helping businesses embed sustainability at their core while driving profitable growth.

What I bring to the table:

  • B2B commercial operations & key account management
  • Data analytics (Excel, Power BI, SQL) for decision-making
  • E-commerce & marketplace strategy
  • Stakeholder storytelling that connects sustainability to the bottom line

💬 Stakeholder Alignment

Proven ability to lead high-stakes dialogues with C-suite executives and diverse global teams. Managed communication strategies for Fortune 500 clients ensuring strategic alignment and commercial success.

📊 Data-Driven Problem Solving

Designed B2B campaigns achieving 60% open rates through rigorous data analysis. Built business intelligence loops identifying category trends and informing scalable go-to-market decisions.

🌍 Impact-Led Leadership

⚡ Startup Agility

Startup background provides valuable resourcefulness and intrapreneurial problem-solving that translates exceptionally well to larger organizations navigating transformation.

Journey & Academic Foundation

From Gandhidham to Global Impact

🏠

Gandhidham: Where It Began

Growing up in a small refugee town built after Partition taught me that resilience, adaptability, and sustainability aren't corporate buzzwords—they're a way of life. This shaped my curiosity about balancing profitability with environmental stewardship.

🏛️

Heritage Management: Finding My Voice

My Master's in Heritage Management opened my eyes to how cultural preservation intersects with sustainability. I learned to bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, managing national digitization projects and working closely with grassroots artisanal communities.

🌱

Sustainability: Making Real Impact

Five years at impact-driven organizations like Bare Necessities (India's first B Corp-certified zero-waste company) taught me how to translate sustainability values into commercial results. I onboarded 40+ B2B clients, facilitated workshops for Fortune 500 companies, and drove 150x GMV growth—all while staying true to Planet, People, and Profit.

🎓

Edinburgh MBA: Scaling My Impact

Pursuing my MBA at Edinburgh Business School in a UNESCO World Heritage city is the perfect next step. I'm sharpening my strategic toolkit, building cross-functional leadership skills, and preparing to drive system-level change within businesses globally.
