Three decades turning strategy into outcomes — in the boardrooms of global majors, the engine rooms of high-growth companies, and inside a $10B+ investment fund. Now a hands-on partner to a small number of business owners and CEOs.
I started out in technology, at Infosys and Persistent, before an MBA at IIM Bangalore. I then spent seventeen years at BCG, where I led a global practice across infrastructure, logistics and supply chain — running transformation, fundraise and digital mandates across sectors and geographies.
I moved to the region to join Shamal Holding, a $10B+ fund, as Head of Strategy, Transformation & Digital — working across investment, diligence and portfolio management, and getting a first-hand feel for what actually creates value inside a business, not just on paper.
Today, based in Dubai, I advise and sit on the boards of a number of growing companies. Through Samvara, I partner directly — and personally — with a few business owners and CEOs to break the ceiling that stalls good businesses, using AI to deliver partner-grade help without partner-grade cost.
A cross-section of the work — spanning global multinationals, Indian conglomerates, sovereign and public bodies, and PE-backed disruptors; from Fortune 500 boards to high-growth startups. Grouped by sector below.
I take on only a few mandates at a time, and give each my personal time. If yours is one of them, I'd like to hear where you're stuck.
