About

I’m a Senior Product Manager at Microsoft with 8+ years of experience working across B2C and B2B domains. At Microsoft, I contribute to WinUI—Windows’ native UI platform—focusing on performance modernization, platform adoption, and enhancing developer workflows. I’ve collaborated with partners like Apple, Meta, and WhatsApp to enable consistent, accessible, high-performance UI across surfaces. I owned the windows integration for Boot to Cloud experience for b2b Win365 subscribers. Previously at Flipkart, I worked on the Grocery team, driving initiatives in growth, user retention, Flipkart homepage experience, and merchandising optimization. I closely partnered with design, engineering, and analytics to experiment, iterate, and scale features aimed at improving engagement and conversion. My strengths lies in structured problem solving, data-driven thinking, and navigating ambiguity through tight cross-functional collaboration. I’ve been recognized with awards for Product Excellence, Building a Dream Team, and Fostering a Culture of Learning. I hold an MBA from IIM Bangalore, and I’m passionate about solving complex platform problems that require systems thinking, empathy for users, and deep collaboration.
