About

I love building tech products from the ground up — products that make technology feel human, useful, and meaningful. Over the years, I’ve built and scaled products across SalesTech, Travel, and Social, leading 0→scale journeys at MakeMyTrip, Mygola, Treebo Hotels, Healofy, and CoreObjects. As a founder, I’ve built products that explored different facets of technology and behavior — Vink (AI-driven sales intelligence), Paco (workflow and productivity for teams), and Mentii (mentorship and social learning). My strength lies in working hands-on across product, tech, and design — translating ambiguous ideas into structured systems that scale. I thrive in the 0→1 phase — defining the problem, iterating, and shaping products that delight users and drive outcomes. What motivates me most is my team, along with the creative energy of building — that journey from a blank slate to something people love using every day.
