"In the clash between an optimist and a pessimist, it's the pragmatic who emerges victorious—a quality I consider my defining feature.” My journey in the realm of D2C start-ups has been marked by significant accomplishments. I steered the inception and growth of The State Plate, shepherding it from its nascent stages to a successful acquisition. Currently, building Kadam Haat & Kadam India, aiming to elevate it to new heights and make a profound impact on the lives of more artisans. This commitment to pragmatism, honed through hands-on experience, continues to be the driving force behind my success in navigating the dynamic landscape of operations, business and entrepreneurship.
