About

10 years of building. Some wins, some faceplants. But never stopped taking the shot - or learning from the last one. → A gaming startup that scaled to be the 2nd biggest in the category in the country. → A cricket platform that hit 2M users → A B2B SaaS tool called Rehook - started with a blank doc, ended with a CleverTap acquisition YC happened. A few term sheets. A few terminations. Some wins, some disasters. But always building. Always learning. I come from the "figure it out as you go" school. I chase what’s broken and oddly interesting. And I post experiments - and sometimes, what not to do. Right now, I lead the Promotions vertical at CleverTap - helping top brands turn personalized nudges into serious outcomes. If you’re building, thinking, or just lost in the maze - say hi. Ever tried? Ever failed? Still here.

Clevertap

Vice President- Product

Aug 2024 – Present · 1 yr 9 mos · Mumbai, Maharashtra, India · On-site

After CleverTap acquired Rehook (YC W’22), I transitioned into a leadership role to head the “Promotions” vertical. In many ways, I’m building and scaling Rehook again — just inside CleverTap.
Leading the Promotions Suite — the engine behind millions of personalized offers and nudges delivered to end users.
Owning product strategy, roadmap, and GTM for a full-stack platform used by top global brands.
Collaborating across engineering, design, and sales to embed Promotions deeply into CleverTap’s core value.
Building for outcomes: ROI-driven, performance-first tools that drive real user behavior — not vanity metrics.
From zero-to-one at Rehook to one-to-n at CleverTap. Same mission, bigger canvas.
