To build ai — transforming a simple idea into a global AI product company and proving that India can create world-class product companies, not just great service firms. That journey came full circle when AskSid was acquired by a leading global CX player, validating our vision and impact. Now, I’m onto my next chapter—leading the APAC business for an innovative, disruptive Data & Analytics product company "The Modern Data Company", helping businesses unlock the true power of data and enable faster decision making. I’m deeply passionate about two things: helping my customers win big and empowering my team to dream even bigger. That’s what drives me every single day. Motto of life: “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” Specialties: Digital Solutions| Business Intelligence and Analytics | Client CXO relationships | New business development | e-commerce | CPG and Retail business technology | Cloud business models | Commercials & Contracting | GTM & Growth Strategy
