A results-driven energy and AI strategy leader who has transformed large-scale operations
into data-powered competitive advantage. Business General Manager — LPG at IOCL's
Head Office, Mumbai, with accountability for $200M+ revenue,
390+ distributors, and 130M+ consumers.
Now accelerating that impact with an MS in Business Analytics at
University of Arizona, Eller College (May 2026) and a KPMG US capstone
delivering AI-driven market prioritization across 33K+ US zip codes.
I am a dynamic Energy and Business Transformation Leader who has built a career on turning operational complexity into measurable results — from engineering a USD 28M oil terminal and jetty pipeline at Haldia to steering IOCL's national LPG strategy from Head Office, Mumbai as Business General Manager, with full accountability for a $200M+ revenue portfolio, 390+ distributors, and 130M+ consumers.
As Chief LPG Manager for Jharkhand, I led a 32-person team across 390+ distributors and served as State Nodal Officer for PM Ujjwala Yojana (2016–2019), driving clean-cooking access to 3 million+ households — one of India's largest social energy programmes. Throughout, I operated at the heart of IOCL's Project i-DRIVE digital transformation, implementing ePIC, Vishleshan, RPA, IoT, and DCoE initiatives across my LPG business unit.
Parallel to my executive career, I built deep expertise in AI, Machine Learning, and Business Analytics through an MS at the University of Arizona's Eller College (May 2026), with a KPMG US capstone delivering a GLP-1 market prioritization framework across 33,000+ ZCTAs using K-means clustering on federal CDC, CMS, ACS, and HRSA data. I have deployed two live ML web applications, built an AI Resume Optimizer achieving 92%+ ATS match rates, and work fluently across Python, R, SQL, TensorFlow, XGBoost, GPT-4o, and Tableau.
