02 — Operational Wins

Issue → how I handled it → result

Current company (GLEUHR Wellness) first, then Sova Health.

Now GLEUHR Wellness · Inventory & dispatch

Keeping stock and dispatch running across 12+ locations

Issue
Stock spread across 12+ clinic locations, four product categories from different vendors (cream, serum, hair, tea), web and sales orders, and shipments both inside India and abroad.
Root cause
Stock levels and vendor orders were tracked separately per location, with no single system or reorder rules to flag fast movers early.
How I handle it
Run stock on Zoho Inventory with reorder points for fast movers, Shiprocket domestic and DHL international, plus daily MIS and inventory audits. I lead a 10‑member team.
Result
Stockouts eliminated on fast-moving SKUs within budget, 24–48h dispatch SLA, fewer expiry write-offs.
Two order channels in, two carriers out, 24–48h

Now GLEUHR Wellness · Automation

Automating international dispatch paperwork

Issue
Every international (DHL) shipment needed its documentation prepared by hand before it could leave.
Root cause
Documents were typed up manually for each shipment, so every international order waited on someone's time.
How I handled it
Built an automatic system that creates the documentation for each international dispatch.
Result
Paperwork is generated automatically for every international order, instead of being written up shipment by shipment.
One international order in, its dispatch documents out, automatically

Now GLEUHR Wellness · International RTO

Recovering an international return with DHL

Issue
An international order came back as RTO from the customer's address, after the customer had already paid customs.
Root cause
Found by raising a claim with DHL to establish exactly why the shipment was returned.
How I handled it
Raised the claim with DHL, refunded the customs amount the customer had paid, and re-dispatched the order without charging shipping again.
Result
The customer received the order within 2–4 days of re-dispatch, at no extra cost to them.
  1. RTOinternational return
  2. DHL claimfind out why
  3. Customs refundmoney back to customer
  4. Free re-dispatchno shipping charged
  5. Deliveredwithin 2–4 days
From return to delivered: the customer never paid twice

Now GLEUHR Wellness · COD returns

Cutting COD returns from 37% to under 8%

Issue
Full cash-on-delivery (COD) orders were coming back as RTO (return to origin), costing two-way shipping on every failed order.
Root cause
Orders shipped on unverified addresses and single phone numbers, and some full-COD buyers weren't committed to the purchase.
How I handled it
Before dispatch, we confirm every full-COD order with the customer, re-verify the address and add an alternate phone number. Then we moved to advance COD, a small amount paid upfront, so the buyer is genuine and actually wants the product.
Result
COD RTO dropped from 37% to under 8% within a single month. Only confirmed, committed orders now leave the warehouse.

  5. Dispatchgenuine buyer, lower RTO risk
Every full-COD order passes these checks before it ships

Before Sova Health · E-commerce · 8 months

Scaling a health brand's e-commerce revenue

Issue
E-commerce was a small channel at roughly ₹50 lakh in revenue, spread across platforms with different replenishment rules.
Root cause
Each platform had its own replenishment rules, managed by hand, so stock and growth were held back.
How I handled it
Ran e-commerce operations including Blinkit, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart, keeping stock flowing alongside Shopify, Amazon and Flipkart.
Result
₹4.3 crore in 8 months — about 8.6× growth.

E-commerce revenue, start vs. month 8

Before Sova Health · Automation

Shifting dispatch TAT: 48 hours to 24 hours

Issue
Dispatch turnaround (TAT) was around 48 hours from order to dispatch.
Root cause
Order-to-dispatch steps were manual, so orders queued before they could be packed and shipped.
How I handled it
Built an automation for the order-to-dispatch flow on the Unicommerce dispatch system.
Result
Dispatch TAT cut to 24 hours, 50% faster.
Before
48 hr
After

Bar length = dispatch TAT, to scale (24 hr is half of 48 hr)

03 — Startup

Built my own D2C brand: Glass.skin

Glass.skin started in college with one idea: a cream that's affordable and easy to order online. I built it into a Shopify store selling one multipurpose cream made for everyone, and ran it for a year (2022–2023).
