About

I’m a product design leader with 12+ years of experience across B2C and B2B domains, scaling high-impact design teams and crafting experiences that drive real business outcomes. At Salesforce, I led design for Loyalty Cloud—conceptualizing the product from scratch. I conducted global research (US, Malaysia), defined the roadmap through product workshops, and envisioned solutions to deep pain points like rule-building. That evolved into a standalone product, winning a Singapore Good Design Mark and helping Salesforce land multiple enterprise clients within a year—marking a milestone as the first industry cloud built entirely from India. At Meesho, I helped establish product-market fit for Superstore, our grocery vertical. In just 5 months, we grew the customer base 6x, drove CM2 to zero, and expanded into 3 cities. I also led design across Fulfilment and Monetisation orgs—driving a 15pt NPS improvement and 2.6x revenue growth, respectively. At Talabat, I currently head the Growth design charter (Pro, Ads, Incentives), contributing €50M+ in incremental GMV. My focus has been scaling outcome-driven design—streamlining rituals, aligning design with OKRs, and mentoring a multidisciplinary team through complexity and velocity. What ties all these roles together is my approach: first-principles thinking, hands-on leadership, and a deep belief in design as a multiplier—of business value, team clarity, and customer trust. I thrive in environments with high ownership and a culture which rewards merit. I’ve been trusted with leadership early—not because of tenure, but because of the clarity of my thinking and bias for action. I bring that energy wherever I go. Outside work, I explore creative storytelling through photography, writing, cinematography, and typography. Let’s connect if you’re building ambitious products—and want to make them exceptional through design.
