About

I am leading product at Router Protocol. As a product enthusiast, I take pride in ensuring that the product is simple to use and understand. I am always striving to bring 100% to the work that I do, and my goal as a product manager is to build products which can simplify people’s lives and solve the problems they face. At Paytm, I built a solution which allows customers to zip through tolls without having to stop for payments. While at Coverfox I was focused at optimizing the user funnel to improve the conversions (visit to sale) on the website for motor (car/bike) insurance. Prior to my MBA, I was a developer at Goldman Sachs where I worked on multiple technologies – Java, SQL, Rest APIs, Hibernate etc. At Goldman Sachs, my role expanded from a developer to technical solution designer. I aspire to be a part of rapidly growing and innovative organizations to bring in new ideas and solutions. For me, technology is something that has helped bring in impacts and has changed lives. To stay connected to technology, I read tech blogs and from time to time also code to satisfy my curiosity. I love to play football and am a huge Manchester United fan.
