About

Digital Product Specialist who transforms pain points into delightful user experiences. With 11+ years of turning complex journeys into simple taps and swipes. I build products people actually want to use. At AU 0101, I’ve led teams that launched industry-first features while improving app ratings from 4.0 to 4.4*—because great products speak for themselves. My superpower? Deep user empathy combined with business savviness. Whether it’s creating instant credit card issuance at IDFC FIRST (generating 20,000 cards monthly), revamping Kotak’s Net Banking platform (cutting login time by 50%), or winning the AWS Innovate X Action Award for an innovative solution selected by the Amazon Web Services Innovation Programs team, I specialise in innovations that users love and businesses value. Beyond product development, I’ve dedicated time to organizations like The Lighthouse Project and Kotak Education Foundation, mentoring young minds and contributing to community initiatives—experiences that have deepened my understanding of diverse user needs. When not designing digital experiences, you’ll find me completing half marathons (four and counting)—turns out product development and long-distance running require the same persistence, strategic pacing, and ability to push through challenges.
