About

I am the Founder of Jaambu and Director at Medicotrans Pvt. Ltd. My career has been a journey of evolution—I spent over two decades leading Medicotrans as a medical transcription KPO before successfully pivoting the company into the FMCG space with our packaged food brand, Jaambu. I am deeply passionate about bringing authentic regional specialties, like Kerala banana and jackfruit chips, to a wider audience through Modern Trade and Quick Commerce. Currently, I’ve established a strong retail footprint with products in hundreds of A-class stores across Pune, Mumbai, and Navi Mumbai. I believe that premium quality and authenticity speak for themselves, and I prefer building long-term value over short-term discounting. I’m currently looking to connect with distribution partners across India and recruitment experts to help scale our sales operations. If you are in the retail or Q-commerce space, I’d love to explore how we can grow together.
