About

I am a product and technology leader with a track record of launching and scaling data-driven and AI-powered products across global startups and enterprises. Over the last 14 years, I have led 0→1 and 1→n product journeys - balancing strategic thinking with executional excellence. At ProductXperts, I have advised 10+ SaaS startups across India, UK, and the Middle East, building product roadmaps, leading discovery, and driving AI-first product strategies to unlock user and revenue growth. Previously at Sixt, I led the design and launch of global fleet operations platforms—integrating telematics, automating turnaround workflows, and deploying AI-led claims and repair tools that delivered multimillion-euro impact. As co-founder of Machinup, I built an Industrial IoT and AI platform from the ground up, delivering predictive maintenance and ML-based energy optimisation to cement and power plants. I thrive at the intersection of product, data, and design - building empowered teams, shipping with urgency, and scaling customer-centric solutions in fast-changing environments. 💡 Let’s connect if you are building SaaS or AI-driven products and want to scale with clarity, speed, and impact.
