From Ops & Banking to IIM

I'm a results-driven professional who has navigated two demanding industries — e-commerce operations and commercial banking — building a rare combination of analytical depth and client-facing acumen.

At Kiran Kolor, I scaled sales by up to 85% YoY through data-driven marketplace strategies. At HDFC Bank, I managed a ₹150 Cr+ portfolio while driving compliance, credit, and client growth. Now at IIM Sambalpur, I'm channelling these experiences into strategic leadership.
