About

Hi! I’m currently working as a Senior Product Manager at Booking.com (Global leader in travel e-commerce). My capabilities lie in launching new products ground-up, building product strategy, handling business categories, leading agile processes and making sense out of data! Sectors I'm most excited about - E-commerce, E-learning, Fintech and OTT Space. If you believe that I could be of help to you or want to learn more around my experience you can reach me here! ... My background - I did my Bachelors (B.Tech) & Masters (M.Tech) degree in Chemical Engineering with a Minor Degree in Business Administration (BA) from IIT Delhi in 2014. After college, I started my career as a Business Intelligence (BI) Analyst in a Rocket Internet's venture - Linio (Latin America's largest e-commerce player). After a short stint at Linio, I joined Tapzo (now part of Amazon India) at their early stage, as a Program Manager (later transitioned to Product Manager). Tapzo was India's first all-in-one transactional platform with services like Cab booking, Bill payments, Food ordering, Deals etc., and had partnered with market leaders like Uber, Ola, Swiggy, Zomato, etc. Stayed there for close to 3 years, and built the Food ordering, Deals and Home services category, from the ground up. After Tapzo, I did a stint with a global affiliate marketing firm, Adways (listed at Tokyo Stock Exchange) as a Senior Product Manager, managing the growth & development of their Indian product - Pocket Money (5M+ downloads). After Adways & before joining Booking.com, I worked with Vedantu (India's largest LIVE online teaching platform) as a Product Lead. I was building the student's learning journey at Vedantu. More details are mentioned below.
