About
I'm Vandit Kunapareddi, a finance and operations professional focused on consumer brands, startup operations, and AI-enabled business tools.
I'm interested in how small teams build operating leverage before they have the budget, headcount, or complexity for enterprise systems. My work sits between finance, operations, and software: building models, workflows, dashboards, and internal tools that help teams make better decisions with fewer manual processes.
