An accomplished and results-driven professional with over a decade of experience in internet companies and digital consulting, spanning India and Europe. I hold an MBA with Distinction (Dean's Top 10%) from Warwick Business School (The University of Warwick), United Kingdom, which is ranked amongst the top B-Schools globally. Currently serving as the Head of Product at InsuranceDekho, I am part of the senior leadership team (SLT). In this capacity, I lead a dynamic team of 20+ Product Managers and UI/UX designers, overseeing product strategy and implementation across all channels for InsuranceDekho. My role involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams and navigating hierarchies to drive successful product outcomes. In my prior role, I served as an Assistant Vice President at Genpact’s Transformation Services consulting practice in Germany. Responsible for steering business finance and supply chain operations transformation programs for global Consumer Goods & Retail clients across Europe, I played a pivotal role in the inception of the digital commerce team. This team was created to assist retail companies in scaling their direct-to-consumer e-commerce operations in response to the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Known for thriving in fast-paced environments, I excel in motivating teams and championing the journey from ideation to implementation. My strengths lie in strategic thinking, analytical prowess, and effective communication, positioning me as a collaborative team player. I am dedicated to stepping out of my comfort zone and going the extra mile to deliver high-quality products.
