Profile

I have been running businesses since I was 17. Growth and brand lead with nine years across 72 brands. I take demand and unit economics as one job: a restaurant profitable in two months on influencer-led demand and rebuilt menu pricing, an OEM retainer that grew dealership conversions fivefold, and two F&B venues consulted from opening to ₹70 lakh and ₹40 lakh a month. When the numbers are the problem I build the tool — including the pricing calculator I sold to three restaurants outright.

Experience

GetMyCreative (Specter & Stinson Pvt Ltd)Founder & CEO

Mar 2019 — 2026
  • Built and ran a creative agency from one ₹8,000 retainer to a ₹5,00,000 monthly book — 50× in five years, bootstrapped, across 72 brands and 10,000+ delivered tasks.
  • Ran brand, performance and influencer marketing across auto, dairy, hospitality, health and retail: paid media, short-form and UGC campaigns, packaging, and 11 live client websites.
  • Consulted F&B clients on marketing and operations as one job — ANK profitable in two months, Le Grapes to a ₹70 lakh month, Cafe Siri from opening to ₹40 lakh.
  • Retained 100% of clients through 2020 by servicing the entire book at roughly half rate rather than letting accounts go dark.
  • Led a team of six plus a freelance bench, and handed the agency over in 2026 as a going concern to move into a full-time role.

ELTH — clinic operating systemCo-founder · Product & UI lead

2025 — Apr 2026
  • Led product on a clinic operating system now live in three clinics — 60+ features across nine departments, eight staff and partner roles, four patient-facing portals.
  • Owned the requirements loop end to end: discovery with clinic owners, doctors and front-desk staff, turned into specs, priorities and a release order a two-person team could build against.
  • Designed the core workflows and interface — appointment scheduling, the consultation screen, invoicing and split payments, and the member care-programme portal.
  • Ran delivery: scoping, sequencing, release sign-off and rollout into clinics that could not stop seeing patients while we shipped — including a care-programme engine built with a design-partner clinic and generalised so the next clinic needed no code change.

GetMyCreative Platform (eida.ai)Co-founder · Product

2025 — 2026 · closed
  • Co-founded and led product on a creative-operations platform — the tooling we built to run our own agency, productised for other studios to use.
  • Accepted into the Google for Startups programme, which awarded $25,000 USD in cloud credits and structured mentorship — credits, not capital, with no equity sold.
  • Owned product definition, scope and the build roadmap across the creative tooling the agency itself ran on.
  • Closed the project in 2026 when the infrastructure cost outran what the product could sustain — a deliberate shutdown rather than a slow bleed.

Restaurant pricing & profit calculatorBuilt and sold as a product

Jan — Jun 2026
  • Built a pricing and profit calculator for restaurants — recipe costing, wastage and the margin a menu price actually returns — specified from operations experience rather than guesswork.
  • Sold it outright to three restaurants at ₹70,000 each — ₹2,10,000 total — as a complete piece of software rather than a subscription.
  • Closed the product after the sales rather than carry indefinite support for a tool with three customers.

ComeOfflineAdvisor & operations support

Current
  • Helped a close friend launch and run a venue-partnership events brand — five events to date at roughly ₹25,000 revenue each, about ₹1,250 per head.
  • Supported venue economics, partner pitching and the call on which formats were worth repeating.

DayOne Tech SolutionsClient Success Manager & sole designer

Jan — Oct 2023
  • Held two roles at once as the company's only designer and its Client Success Manager — all marketing and brand material, plus the client relationships behind it.
  • Coordinated directly with clients on deliverables, escalations and satisfaction, and built process to keep design moving while carrying client success in a resource-limited environment.
  • Also held Senior Graphic Designer on RightAngle, DayOne's AI-teaching vertical (Mar — Dec 2023): 7–8 creatives daily and the visual design system that kept platform and campaigns consistent.
  • Held the role full-time while the agency ran on part-time staff and freelancers — no accounts lost, and its book peaked the year after.

Frozen foods distributionSales & closing

2018
  • Built the pitch and ran outbound for a frozen foods manufacturer, closing café accounts cold with sampling as the entire sales mechanic — ₹15,000–20,000 a month within the first months.
