About

I currently work as a product manager in the Innovation team at ARMMAN, a non-profit working towards reducing maternal and child mortality in India. I have previously worked as a product manager at Mahila Money, building products to provide capital solutions for women entrepreneurs and helping increase women's contribution to India's GDP. I've also worked at Citi as a software developer in the Private Bank Investments team. I am passionate about building products and communities that solve important problems and drive tangible impact. With experience across early stage startups, MNCs, non-profits along with founding communities and launching a podcast, I am ready to channel my passions and help build products of the future. In my free time, I can be found recording and editing an episode for my podcast - The Hidden Chapters or building the Women in Product community at The Product Folks.
