About

I’ve been fascinated with machines, technology and design ever since I assembled my own desktop computer when I was 12. I’m currently the PM owner for intelligent productivity in Outlook Mobile. I spend my time obsessing over how to make reading emails, creating meetings, to-do lists and acting on them far quicker and efficient than any other mechanism today. I spend my day formulating product vision, running A/B tests, researching users, crunching numbers & negotiating with global stakeholders. (yes, I love getting my hands dirty). I’ve won Microsoft's worldwide Hackathon on an Xbox challenge and have led an IIMB team to 1st place among several top-tier Business Schools at a product management competition hosted by Alshaya, a major middle-east retail franchise operator. I’ve reached the finals of four other pan-IIM as well as corporate case study competitions. The last decade saw me wear several hats – entrepreneur, product manager, app developer, investor, triathlete, adventure sports junkie, club leader, DIYer, event organizer, social worker, designer, and makeshift tech support for my family and friends - each one of these has taught me to sit right outside my comfort zones, while making things happen. Building products is my passion. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing and I'm determined to never stop learning. -- (Permanent resident of the United States. Sponsorship not required)
