About
I’m Athira, a founder-facing business operations and strategic finance professional focused on helping teams move from ideas to decisions. I support founders with competitor research, market sizing, ROI and financial modeling, weekly decision briefs, and investor-ready materials like pitch decks—always with a clear bias toward execution and measurable outcomes.
In addition to my founder’s office work, I’ve delivered project-based finance and analytics across India, the UAE, and the US, including SME cash-flow forecasting, real-estate development modeling, and acquisition screening using metrics like SDE/EBITDA, valuation multiples, and debt-service capacity. My background also includes audit and operations management experience, which strengthens how I handle compliance follow-ups, documentation, and cross-functional coordination.
