About Kiran

A highly accomplished Strategic Leader & Investor with 12+ years of experience driving growth, transformation, and value creation across Consumer Goods, Tech, and Healthcare sectors. I excel at the intersection of Corporate Strategy, Growth & Revenue Ops, and Startup Leadership, delivering impactful outcomes across India, Southeast Asia, and the U.S.

I’ve worn many hats: operator, strategist, investor, advisor. I’m passionate about solving complex business problems, scaling new products, and building high-performing teams. At Strategy&, I led C-suite engagements, including a growth transformation for a major FMCG brand, resulting in 21+% revenue impact. I’ve partnered with a growth-stage analytics startup to launch an AI-enabled sales tool, improving sales efficiency, and spearheaded omnichannel GTM strategies for B2B/B2C e-commerce platforms with measurable revenue uplifts. At Google India, I designed account strategies generating $30M in revenue during the pandemic and drove programs achieving $8.2M incremental revenue and was awarded 'Retail Hall of Fame' award. As a Brand Manager at Nestlé India, I owned P&L, scaled new product lines, and pioneered the first AI-powered customer engagement chatbot for Nestlé India and was awarded the Best Manager award for team and revenue leadership.

I've successfully sourced, assessed, and structured deals for startup investments and provided strategic guidance for scaling operations. My entrepreneurial spirit is evident in developing a revenue growth playbook for a healthcare startup (portfolio company) and building a new business unit for a Fintech startup encompassing product, talent, and GTM strategy.

I am actively seeking impactful senior leadership and investment opportunities where I can leverage my strategic foresight, operational expertise, and passion for innovation to drive significant growth and create lasting value.
