About

Building Cranberry - improving health outcomes for generations of women through health protocols, data & AI. Proven business and product & tech leader with a successful exit from an EdTech startup, driving impactful solutions at scale. Alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, I bring a rich blend of technical acumen, strategic thinking and business delivery. I am driven by the opportunity to contribute to the health tech industry. At the core of my journey is the successful scaling and exit of an EdTech startup, where I played a pivotal role as a founding team member and product & tech head. Personalization in print, at scale, no error - was key to our success in solving for personalization in classrooms using regular examinations data. The second challenge was to make this data available to each stakeholder through web & mobile apps, real time. I led the team of designers, engineers and owned customer fulfillment to ensure balance of new development and excellent delivery. I lead with empathy, communication and transparency to create the best of my team, product and business, in that order :). Excited to connect with fellow health tech enthusiasts, industry professionals, and potential collaborators. Let's drive positive change together! Specialties: tech leadership, domain modelling, OKRs, handling crisis, building teams & products that scale
