About

I’m a product leader building powerful, practical software for the public sector — and helping scale one of the most exciting civic tech platforms on the market.At OpenGov, I drive product strategy across three cornerstone SaaS suites:Permitting & Licensing (PLC) – transforming how local governments manage citizen services.Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) – powering smarter infrastructure planning and maintenance.Pluggable Payments Framework (PPF) – enabling modern, scalable, and secure payment infrastructure across our product ecosystem.I specialize in turning complex government workflows into elegant digital experiences — aligning strategy, execution, and user value at every step. Whether it’s defining a roadmap, launching new platforms, or scaling a beta into a market-ready product, I bring clarity, speed, and customer obsession to the work.Beyond product, I’m helping build OpenGov India into a world-class technology center — hiring top talent, fostering a high-ownership culture, and shaping the future of our global product and engineering team.I thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments where the problems are messy, the stakes are real, and the impact is meaningful.
