I am an Operations and Business Operations professional with 10+ years of experience leading large-scale operations across logistics, e-commerce, quick-commerce, and BPO environments. Throughout my career, I have managed multi-site operations, optimized workforce productivity, improved service levels, and delivered measurable cost reductions through process improvements and data-driven decision-making. Most recently, I served as a Senior Store Manager at Blinkit (a Zomato company), where I managed a cluster of stores, led cross-functional teams, oversaw last-mile delivery operations, and drove operational excellence across key performance metrics. I successfully managed large teams, improved fleet utilization, reduced operational disruptions, and implemented performance improvement initiatives. My expertise includes Operations Management, Business Operations, Supply Chain Management, Fleet Operations, Workforce Planning, Process Improvement, Performance Analytics, and KPI Management. I am highly proficient in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Dashboard Development, and operational reporting, with extensive experience transforming complex data into actionable business insights. I am now seeking remote opportunities where I can leverage my operational leadership, analytical skills, and continuous improvement mindset to help organizations scale efficiently and achieve sustainable growth.
