Business Development Leader

Builder by instinct and a closer by craft. I’m a Business Development Leader who thrives in extremes – From co-founding a boutique hardware venture to scaling up operations for one of the biggest international travel giants today. Each chapter of my journey has added wins, learnings and lasting value to the organizations I’ve been a part of in the last 9 years. Most recently, I’ve led the charge from zero to acquisition at KGeN (Formerly IndiGG) and then continued to scale it 1 to 10 – expanding revenue, reach and reputation at each step.
