About

I like to operate at the intersection of product and business - where customer needs meet strategic business goals. I have experience in defining product strategy, leading cross-functional teams, and building and delivering roadmaps. I like to discover complex problems and understanding how it affects our business operations - finally evolving simple, scalable solutions for them. I completed MBA in International Business from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade(IIFT), New Delhi as part of the batch 2015-17. I am an alumnus of BITS Pilani K.K. Birla Goa Campus from where I completed my dual degree course of B.E.(Hons.) Computer Science and M.Sc.(Hons.) Physics. I have a professional experience of 12+ years with stints in Software Development, Product Marketing, Sales, Supply Chain Management & Operations and I have worked across Africa, South-east Asia and Europe.
