About

I'm a Product Manager with over 5.5 years of experience owning end-to-end product strategy, delivery, and growth in high-scale tech environments. I specialize in building user-first, data-powered products across fintech, edtech, and e-commerce domains. At upGrad, I led product ownership for a ₹10 Cr/month business line, reducing monthly losses by 75%, doubling conversion rates through funnel optimization, and launching CRM automations that improved lead-to-payment efficiency. I drove over 10+ A/B experiments and behavioral analytics rollouts, improving onboarding and user journeys across platforms. At Meesho, I built Meesho’s first chatbot and audio-based support tools that improved CES by 25% and saved ₹5 Cr/month. I worked hands-on with engineering and support teams to ship scalable conversational workflows that reduced friction and support dependency. Earlier, at Citi, I developed backend workflow automation tools using Java and Angular that reduced document processing time from 5 hours to 40 minutes and saved over $120K/year in manual costs. I thrive in agile, cross-functional environments. I enjoy simplifying complexity, working closely with users and engineering, and solving problems at scale using experimentation, data, and empathy.
