About

Consumer & Enterprise Tech | Building Scalable, AI-powered Experiences. Chances are, as a user, you’ve interacted with products I’ve helped build. With 10 years of experience in consumer tech and fintech, I’ve built and scaled products that operate at massive scale—whether it’s the native PDF viewer in Microsoft Edge, the default on nearly a billion Windows devices, or UPI money transfers at Paytm, enabling seamless digital transactions for millions. Currently, I’m a Senior Product Manager at Microsoft, leading the AI-powered PDF and Print experience in Microsoft Edge, designed to enhance productivity for users globally. I specialize in leveraging AI, design thinking, and data-driven decision-making to craft intuitive, high-impact products. My expertise spans across Product Strategy, Product Development, Stakeholder Management, UX, User research, Experimentation and Go-to-Market execution. As a PM, I believe that empathy is the most powerful tool to understand user pain points and reverse-engineer creative, data driven solutions using a blend of systems and design thinking. I thrive on transforming ideas into scalable, intelligent, and user-centric products that simplify workflows, enhance productivity, and drive business impact.
