About

I love to build useful stuff from scratch. Built and grew TheBetterIndia.com - India's largest media platform dedicated to showcasing stories of change. Led product management and built the entire e-commerce offering from scratch at hoopos.com - an ecommerce venture. Prior to that I also built the early versions of ngpay's mobile commerce app, designed and built ibibo's social networking platform, led a software team at Honeywell, published a book of short stories, trained as a theater artist. Love most things internet and mobile. Rated as one of the top Product Mentors (http://is.gd/top_mentors) for startups in India.
