About

I lead Product teams. With extensive experience in driving zero to one journeys, I am always on the edge of scaling sustainably! Here's a snapshot of my best stints: - Managed an entire function with more than 1200+ team members (contractors, FTE's, PM's, Designers, Tech, Ops - all put together) - Startups, Startups and startups. Led numbers that helped raise $60Mil, hand coded 7 products from scratch. Sharp on capital deployment, keenly nudging the management of every penny returned on the ones spent! - Founder of 2 companies. One runs profitably, passed on to the co-founder. Second merged. One in Edtech, second in Climatetech My best sense is "People". Thats empathy, connection, understanding, patient listening, respect, friendliness and the likes. This helps me immensely within my teams and my users. We connect, dine, work hard and smile together - all on a progressive path. I have a Value-first belief. Rest follows. The way 'Means follow the Purpose', so do - 'People follow Direction', 'Businesses follows unit Margins', and... "Success follows Value creation"! I keep it that simple! Eternally curious! Ever in wonder! So much to do, in such a little time! Hit me up if you want to build something. You never know...!
