About

I’m a senior Product and Growth Leader with 14+ years of experience scaling consumer internet businesses across media, entertainment and gaming from early-stage 0-to-1 builds to global product-market fit and monetization at scale. Most recently, I led Product Management, Growth, and Platform Development at Pragmatic Play, one of the world’s leading iGaming companies. I spearheaded the launch of PragmaticPlay.Fun, a B2C initiative blending casual gaming, AI-driven personalization, and reward-based engagement into a global community platform. I built the product from scratch shaping the roadmap, implementing growth systems, and aligning cross-functional teams to deliver an engaging and scalable player experience. Earlier, as Chief Product & Growth Officer at MX Player, I led the Product, Growth, and Monetization functions, scaling the platform to 250M+ MAUs and 1B+ installs across 100+ countries. I built AI-powered recommendation and ranking systems that leveraged engagement and watch-time data to personalize discovery and improve retention, driving MX’s evolution into one of the world’s largest OTT platforms. The journey culminated in MX Player’s acquisition by Amazon, one of India’s biggest tech exits. My expertise lies in building and scaling consumer platforms, applying AI for personalization and growth, and driving data-informed product strategy. I thrive in high-velocity environments, enjoy solving complex consumer problems, and bring deep experience in user engagement, monetization, and international expansion. 🎯 Core Skills: Product Leadership • Growth Strategy • AI & Personalization • B2C Platforms • Data-Driven Product Design • User Engagement • Gamification • Monetization • GTM Strategy • Consumer Retention • P&L Management • Cross-Functional Leadership • Global Scaling
