About

I build things that matter—and I build them to scale. At BharatPe, I was part of the founding team that built its core platforms—onboarding, KYC, and notifications—fueling its $3B scale. At Find Your Kicks, I rebuilt the entire growth engine, growing it into a ₹100Cr+ marketplace. But what excites me isn’t just scale—it’s the process. The creative chaos of going from zero to one. The discipline of building repeatable systems. And the magic that happens when great teams chase real problems with relentless focus. I work at the intersection of product, growth, and systems—always with one foot in the details and the other on the big picture. Let’s build something that moves people.

Experience

Find your kicks india

Chief Product Officer | Founding Team

Jan 2021 – Present · 5 yrs 2 mos · Gurugram, Haryana, India

Dropped into chaos, I found a brand stuck in limbo—no product, no traction, and no clarity. In 90 days, I launched Find Your Kicks, reviving a forgotten idea into a living, breathing marketplace. Over the next year, we scaled it into a ₹100Cr+ cultural platform with 200K+ loyal monthly users.
When I took charge, the platform had been delayed for over a year, lost in indecision. I didn’t wait for permission—I rewrote the playbook. I rallied cross-functional teams, enforced ruthless prioritization, and launched the MVP in 3 months. From there, I engineered compounding growth loops that crushed CAC by 90%, scaled supply ops, and rebuilt user journeys that converted curiosity into obsession.
This wasn’t just product execution—it was a ground-up resurrection.
🚀 Key Contributions:
Scaled the marketplace to ₹100Cr+ GMV and 200K+ MAUs through a full-funnel growth engine blending GTM strategy, seller incentives, and viral acquisition via influencer & referral loops.
Launched MVP in 90 days after a year-long delay by aligning tech, ops, and design teams around a focused build-measure-learn cycle with daily iteration rituals.
Revamped the buyer journey, reducing bounce rate from 65% to <10%, increasing session depth 8x, and boosting conversion by 40%.
Engineered a SEO-driven acquisition flywheel with ML-based product recommendations → 6.2x organic traffic growth and 28% lift in repeat purchases.
Transformed seller lifecycle—halving listing time, increasing WAU sellers 5.1x, reducing fulfillment delays 35%, and improving seller retention by 60%.
Led org scale-up from 5 to 40+ members: recruited and built the product, design, and engineering teams; introduced investor-ready roadmaps and analytics.
Re-architected the backend, shifting from a monolith to microservices with CI/CD automation, enabling zero-downtime deployments and supporting 85K+ concurrent users; slashed deployment time from 4+ hours to under 5 minutes.

Bharatpe

Founding Team | Product & Platform Lead – Onboarding, KYC, Notifications

Jan 2018 – Jan 2021 · 3 yrs · Delhi, India

As a founding team member at BharatPe, I helped build the core product infrastructure that powered its rise from zero to India’s $3B+ fintech rocketship. I led the design and execution of platforms like merchant onboarding, KYC automation, real-time notifications, and the 12% Club—foundational engines that drove scale, speed, and trust.
Dropped into ambiguity, I thrived in war-room chaos—turning scattered WhatsApp ops into robust, compliant systems ready for 10M+ merchants. I worked cross-functionally with engineering, compliance, growth, and founders to ship products that moved the needle fast, without compromising quality.
💡 When UPI exploded, we didn’t just keep up—we scaled ahead of the curve.
Key Wins:
🧱 Built BharatPe’s automated onboarding and KYC stack from scratch—moving from manual Excel processes to a real-time pipeline that onboarded 10M+ merchants with <5 min TAT and near-zero drop-offs.
📹 Launched India’s first Video KYC for SMBs—cut ops headcount by 70%, reduced fraud, and slashed verification time from 24 hours to under 3 minutes.
🔔 Designed fault-tolerant notification infra (SMS, in-app, WhatsApp)—scaled to 10M+ daily events with 99.99% uptime, even during UPI peak loads.
💸 Spearheaded the 0→1 launch of 12% Club, a P2P investment platform—hit 1M users and ₹1000Cr+ lending volume within 12 months.
📊 Drove merchant activation by 60% via onboarding funnel optimization, contextual nudges, and gamified cashback flows informed by weekly cohort analysis.
🤝 Navigated compliance and legal intricacies to bake trust directly into user experience—turning red tape into a UX moat.
🧭 Collaborated with founders through Series A–C—shaping product narratives for investor decks, aligning tech with GTM ambition, and presenting in due diligence sessions.
👥 Scaled product, design, and ops teams—led hiring, mentoring, and process-building during hypergrowth, from 5 to 100+ org-wide.
