About

I bring over 5 years of expertise in product management, strategy, and operations, currently serving as the Product Manager at Rehlat. Leading a dynamic team of three, I am passionate about crafting user-friendly products that simplify the travel booking experience. In my previous role at Swiggy, I played a pivotal role in strategy and operations, spearheading the launch of 8 cities, enhancing driver experience, and implementing data-driven solutions. Proficient in Looker, BigQuery, and SQL, I excel in creating KPI dashboards, maintaining forecasting models, and optimizing processes for growth. I thrive on turning challenges into opportunities and am committed to delivering measurable impact in every role.

2 roles

Product Manager - Flights

Promoted

Jan 2023 – Jun 2024 · 1 yr 5 mos · Greater Hyderabad Area

Led Rehlat's Flight Product, I drove product vision and execution across marketing, growth, tech, design, customer service, and more. Collaborating with a stellar team of product managers, I shaped product roadmaps, managed P&L, and created differentiators for sustainable growth and product-market fit. My role encompassed hiring and mentoring talent, understanding the competitive landscape, and fostering cross-functional synergy to deliver exceptional flight experiences. Learned to write like this :(
$150Mn ARR taught me how to force sell more to the same user. Launching North America, Europe and south America taught me problems of operating in newer markets.
Unfortunately I couldn't zoom out and see the bigger picture and majorly played how rest of the players were playing.
