About
Over 25+ years across industrial, automotive, retail and consumer businesses, I have learned that durable growth is created when commercial ambition is matched by customer value, organisational capability and disciplined execution.
Why Ashish
01 / Build
At Veetee Fine Foods, I helped build the India business from inception, integrating sales, marketing, pricing, portfolio strategy and go-to-market execution. The domestic business scaled from ₹10 Cr to ₹100 Cr within three years, supported by a national distribution network and a clear commercial operating model.
02 / Scale
At Walmart India and Flipkart Wholesale, I worked with the leadership team during a period of 25× business growth. The work brought commercial strategy, customer acquisition, store expansion and omnichannel capability into one growth agenda, including the launch of India’s first omnichannel B2B wholesale business.
03 / Transform
At Stanley Black & Decker, I led commercial strategy and portfolio expansion across South Asia, supporting the commercialisation of 100+ products. At SKF, as part of the regional management team, I worked across 12+ markets to translate enterprise transformation priorities into commercially relevant local action.
04 / Advise & enable
Through my independent practice, I bring together strategic advisory, executive coaching, management education, governance, speaking and expert advisory. Alongside this work, 5+ years as an angel investor and 100+ founder discussions bring another practical lens to the choices involved in building and scaling a business.
