About

Ever since childhood i wanted to be creative or be part of creation, i still remember being fascinated by Little Mario in my "9999 in one" 8 bit video game and tried to create my own version in a ruled rough notebook with stickers and popups and tested with my friend to play it out me with me playing the interactions as they played. But for a long time i dint get the answer of how to craft such experiences in TV or computer, 15 Years later i was exactly there building experience for business and consumer software applications. I Started my self as a self thought UI Designer moved into UX and product design later took up Product management. During this journey i believe learning quickly and moving forward establishing grasp and ownership of what i have done. Product Management has changed the way i think about Users and Business bridging the gap & & balancing between their goals. I love to dig into customer problems and solve them with modern technology. I create, scale and optimize business portfolios that matter. To accomplish this, I focus on delivering key outcomes, building amazing teams and quickly adapting to new learnings. I have taken that innate passion and applied it to managing complex cross-team initiatives and strategic programs. I help organizations be more productive, thereby making it possible to achieve their business goals. I can successfully scale up software businesses from 0 to $10Mn in revenue. - I put the customer at the center of all that I do. - I excel at the execution of big ideas with given constraints - My gut instinct is good but I seek data for my decisions I can align, lead and grow world-class product teams from 0 to 50 people. - I love to win, but helping the team win gives me greater joy - I tell great narratives that motivate - The buck always stops with me Professional Skills Product Management | User Experience (UX) Design | Product Analytics | Team Development | Strategic Planning | Product Development | Product Roadmap | Portfolio Strategy | Business Development | SaaS | Agile Development | Marketplace Platforms Domain Knowledge B2B | SaaS | HR Tech | IT Management Software | Enterprise Software | Small Business Software | MarTech | HRMS | VC | Support Chat Application | B2B Marketplace | CRM | ARVR
