🌱 From Ankleshwar to Accenture
I was born in Ankleshwar, studied in Gujarati-medium government schools, and initially dreamed of becoming an architect. A missed interview changed that course. I pivoted toward industrial engineering, and my professional life took shape at Sandvik Asia, where I learned what factories, materials, and processes really meant—on the floor, not in a PowerPoint.
From there, I started using data to transform how things ran. I stepped into leadership early—not because someone asked me to, but because I saw inefficiencies and decided to fix them.
I even took a leap and ran my own stock brokerage during the early 2000s. It worked—until it didn’t. The 2007 crisis hit. I lost not just money, but my home, my business, and a sense of certainty. But never my hunger to build again.
🔁 Rebuilding from the Ground Up
I joined Hindustan Unilever, then Accenture, where I was entrusted with building and scaling one of their first supply chain outsourcing contracts. Over the years, I helped transform multiple retailer’s supply chain, merchandizing, customer care, marketing operations.
From developing AI-powered forecasting tools to coaching team leads, from managing crises to doubling revenues, I’ve led by doing—and often by failing first, learning fast, and never giving up.
In 2016, I moved to Canada, where I now lead operations and strategy across multiple accounts. In 2024, I was promoted to Managing Director, a moment of pride, but more importantly—responsibility.
🔍 What Drives Me
“I believe in lifelong learning. In the grand scheme, we’re small—but we can still choose to do the right thing.”
I’m most alive when I’m solving real business problems with data and logic, mentoring my team, or building tools that make complex processes simple. I don’t chase perfection—I aim for 80% excellence and iterate from there.
My mindset is shaped by a simple truth: life is a marathon, not a sprint. If I fall, I get up. I coach my team the same way. Build, reflect, grow.
🎯 Outside the Office
I’m not just about numbers and strategies. I find meaning in:
