About

My mission has been to build products that help unlock human potential. I am currently building the Luna Ring. The Luna Ring is a futuristic smart ring that accurately measures and analyses your sleep, wellness, heart rate, stress and over 70 bio markers while being easy to wear and great to look at. This is part of a suite of connected devices with a mission to elevate human life. We sell in over 70 countries and are part of the house of Noise. Built SocialBoat and got acquired by Noise - SocialBoat is an AI led app that helps women manage chronic menstrual issues like PCOS & Thyroid with medicine, diet and exercise. 45k+ women have managed PCOS and rated us 4.9/5. Sakhi AI was the first and highest rated of its kind in the world. We were a profitable and funded org, eventually acquired by noise to build the AI for a broader use-case. During Dec-19 to Jul-21, I built Holidaying - enabling travel content creator to monetize by sharing and plannign trips for their followers. Covid was a big dampner but we helped creators sell trips worth 4.5M to their audiences and had a community of 38000 travellers. I have previously worked (2016-19) in the business team at Goibibo where I was managing pnl growth and profitability of the $500M domestic hotels' business. I introduced ML led dynamic pricing, personalized pricing algorithms and worked closely with Marketing and Product to improve funnnel conversions. Before Goibibo and MMT merged, I led community initiatives for MakeMyTrip's alternate accommodation venture - Rightstay. I was a founding team member at Rightstay and built India's first community of 10,000 homestays and vacation villas. We worked closely with the tourism departments forging the homestay policy of the country. Before my travel journey, I have founded and scaled a tech-recruiting platform, Valonia where we built a community of 6000+ software developers who would solve challenges for and get recruited by 30 of India's top internet startups. I am a history and culture nerd. I love community building and am good at understanding data and building insights.
