  • About me

    With over 30 years of senior management experience in construction, chemicals, and building materials, I am a results-driven leader known for driving business turnarounds, scaling operations, and leading strategic transformations. As Chief Business Officer and in other executive roles, I have consistently delivered sustainable growth and profitability across complex markets. My core expertise includes full P&L ownership, strategic business development, product innovation, and operational excellence—particularly in ready-mix concrete, Construction Chemicals and modern building materials. I pioneered several RMC innovations in India, helping shape the industry with sustainable, high-performance solutions. I have led successful market expansions across South Asia and built strong partnerships with government bodies, contractors, and private sector clients. Passionate about digital transformation, I am currently pursuing an Independent Director Certification from KPMG, with a focus on integrating AI and data-led governance into strategic decision-making. My leadership approach emphasizes high-performance cultures, operational agility, and cross-functional collaboration. I now seek senior executive or board-level roles where I can apply my strategic insights and domain expertise to drive innovation and sustainable growth across construction, infrastructure, and allied sectors.
