I've been in the room where product decisions get made. For 25 years.
I've built products for startups that had nothing, and companies that had everything.
At Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), I led enterprise healthcare technology across global markets for over a decade. That experience taught me something most strategists lack — what execution inside complex, high-stakes systems actually demands.
I pioneered the concept of AI Revenue Loops — business systems where every customer interaction makes your product smarter, your operations leaner, and your revenue more compounding. While most companies are still treating AI as a feature to ship, I help the best of them redesign their business models around it.
Today I advise founders and businesses across India, APAC and the Middle East through Studio NAVAKA. I teach through cohort programs. I share practical, no-fluff strategy through The Strategy Monk on YouTube. And I'm writing my first book — Fall in Love with the Client, Not the Idea — because the best ideas are useless if they stay locked inside conference rooms.

Four things we won't compromise on.
Clarity over complexity
Great strategy is clear and actionable. We cut through complexity to focus on what moves the needle.
Execution over theory
Strategy only works if your team can actually execute it. We design for your real constraints, not ideal conditions.
Truth over comfort
We tell you what you need to hear, not what's comfortable. That honesty is the most valuable thing we offer.
People over transactions
Most engagements turn into long-term advisory relationships. We're in it for your success, not just the sprint.
