About

Currently building the future of Chronic Care management, powered 100% by AI. Earlier, I was the Head of Design at Instawork, a staffing app for hospitality and light industrial partners and professionals. I have over 15 years of experience in building digital products that are used by millions of users around the world. I am passionate about solving complex problems and creating delightful experiences that drive growth and impact. In my previous roles, I have led the design teams at ZEE5, Magicbricks, FabHotels, and Snapdeal, where I have revamped the entire product experience, implemented design systems, improved key conversion metrics, launched new features and platforms, and fostered a culture of research-driven design. I have also been an entrepreneur and an angel investor, co-founding and exiting two successful startups in the e-commerce and analytics domains.
