A CA Turned Operator
𝄃𝄃𝄂𝄂𝄀𝄁𝄃𝄂𝄂𝄃
I help brands scale from 0 to 100 — with P&L, product, and performance all in one hand.

A CA rankholder (AIR 49) with 12+ years' experience across e-commerce, new business incubation, growth and venture finance, I have worked directly with founding teams to bring structure to complex & chaotic environments. With a knack for creative problem-solving, I have built a strong foundation across cross-functional teams to achieve hyper growth across various business sizes within tight timeframes to achieve profitable growth across key business areas.

From CA
to VC to D2C

"But it was his VC experience that ignited his passion for startups, so much so that, along with working at his job, Pranil founded his own startup. “I was running my startup parallel with my day job, packing orders, setting up marketing campaigns,” Pranil recalls. This unique journey from CA to VC to founder has lent him a comprehensive know-how of growing a business, from operations to finances, eventually leading him to his position at DailyObjects. "

Emotional Commerce
DailyObjects’ Approach

“We want our products to evoke a sense of personal connection,” Pranil explains. As a result, their customers feel more attached to the brand, seeing their products as expressions of their personality and lifestyle, not just as functional. The key to this? Storytelling!"

Outstanding
Creativity...

The team brought our vision to life with a level of creativity and precision that exceeded expectations. Our brand now stands out in a crowded market.
