About

I believe in stories, and stories can create great products. With over 10 years of experience as a Product Manager, my focus has been on customer acquisition, engagement and retention. My stints with ZestMoney, Mi Credit and PayU Credit for over 5 years has helped me understand the fin-tech environment in India where I have built various customer facing lending products. Currently I am working with Prodigy Finance trying the bridge the barrier of funding for students seeking international education. I am a traveller, trekker and a trail runner, who loves filter coffee, board games and lakes.
