About

Experienced and proactive product manager with over 10 years of experience in successfully delivering software products across the E-Retail, Fashion, and Travel sectors, catering to diverse audiences in India, the Middle East, and the United States. I possess a track record of spearheading the entire lifecycle of customer-oriented solutions, starting from concept inception to the launch of end-to-end store fronts and streamlined logistics processes. Notably, I led the groundbreaking launch of an online fashion platform, which presently garners substantial multi-million-dollar revenue figures annually. My skill set includes a strong affinity for data and numbers, guided by a reliable analytical prowess. My forte lies in developing analytically-driven B2C offerings that directly engage customers, encompassing the user journey from initial discovery to seamless checkout experiences, for both web and mobile app interfaces. My proficiency extends to championing the holistic ebb and flow of inward and outward logistics interactions. Throughout my career, I've steered diverse projects, including full ownership of mobile applications (pertaining to Flights and Fashion), while also introducing an array of products spanning flight selection and booking user experience, customer retention strategies, growth hacking methodologies, and the integration of secure payment gateways, among others.
