Kyra · Founding Partner · Jan 2026 to now
The rider app took 2,300+ organic downloads and 1,100+ booking attempts. The driver app took about 450.
Drivers were the thin side, so I instrumented every step of the six-step driver signup and worked the steps where they dropped. Riders were converting at 85% against 14% on the driver side, 42 out of more than 300. I manage a team of five on acquisition and marketing.
Loopdesk AI · Go-to-Market Intern · May to Aug 2026
200+ customer interviews in 12 weeks, and what came out of them decided which customer segment the company built for.
Outbound ran at 500+ prospects a day and I dropped the segments that were not converting. Monthly actives went from under 10 to 200 in three months on the refocused profile.
reform · Sales and Growth Intern · Jul to Aug 2026
Week one, I sold nothing. Repeat orders turned out to decide everything, so I held reorder rate above 50%, and every client I brought in reordered.
In my four weeks there, the pipeline I ran took revenue from about ₹10 lakh to ₹15 lakh (about $10,500 to $15,700) a year, alongside the founder's own work.
The reform founder told me the CRM wasn't being updated enough. He was right, so I fixed it. Records improved. Sales didn't move.
Nearly every order traced back to a face-to-face conversation, not to anything in the pipeline. I said so, he agreed, and I rebuilt my weeks around visits with the CRM as the record, not the strategy.
I'd rather find out I solved the wrong problem in week two than defend it for a month.
He is very helpful, and he has great ideas.
He is amazing to have on the team.
Very, very, very good, hardworking person who will get things done if you give him the things to do.
Great work…
great analyst… MBA level…
