About

I am now building exciting products at Amazon Music 🎶 --- I'm a multidisciplinary product leader with over 11 years of experience delivering innovative and high-value consumer and SaaS products across product-market-fit, growth and maturity stages of the product lifecycle. At Zendrive, I head the smartphone platform-as-a-service for safe travel and personalized auto insurance. Previously at Swiggy, I launched growth and operations performance products for long-tail of restaurants. As a founder at Racoon, I built a platform for original artists to create and sell products online. I have shipped engaging mobile app experiences for consumers, SDKs & APIs for developers, dashboards for executives. However, the scope of my product work takes me beyond shipping features. I have built metric pipelines, participate in customer sales pitches and planned for quarterly OKRs. I actively enable my team to be great at their work. As opposed to solving with the resources I have, I solve by allocating resources and influencing others.

Zendrive is a smartphone platform-as-a-service for safe travel and personalized auto insurance.
I led the technical product staff, participated in customer pitches, drove product strategy and quarterly OKR planning.
Using just a smartphone, Zendrive SDK is capable of detecting a user's driving behavior and even notify emergency responders upon a collision event. Developers can build gamified app experiences for users to improve driving behavior and road safety outcomes. Auto insurers can use the Zendrive dashboard to measure user engagement, select a lower pool of risk and adjust claims faster.

Principal Product Manager

I was a senior member of a cross-functional, dynamic product team at Swiggy working on variety of demand and supply side platform problems.
My focus was to help the long-tail of restaurants grow their business on Swiggy. These restaurants received little attention from the field teams. I launched the "owner app" giving restaurants the ability to set up promotions, learn about in-app funnel & customer insights and earn benefits by exceptional operations performance.

Racoon

Co-Founder & CEO

Oct 2013 – Mar 2017 · 3 yrs 5 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

"Why can't my phone - a deeply personal device - be personalized?"
With this simple insight, Racoon began it's journey with a website to create and buy custom phone cases. Within the first holiday season, Racoon gained traction and emerged as one of the most popular destinations online to buy phone cases with selfies, company logos, family portraits and other unexpected imagery.
Our bootstrapped success allowed us to invest into developing a platform for original artists and expanding our print-on-demand portfolio of products. We also licensed work from Nintendo, held a marquee presence at Comic-con India and create an experimental kiosk at retail stores.
Ultimately, we were emphatically early to a social commerce scene and the big horizontal platforms competed away our margins. Racoon exists - but only in memory.
I was a founder, product manager, marketer, people manager, developer, sales and customer service executive at Racoon.
