About

I build education products that drive measurable learner outcomes—combining pedagogy research and practices, learning analysis with product thinking. What I’m doing now: EkStep (Assisted Math Learning - AML) – Building AML, a lab-plus-hybrid product focused on Grade 1-5 Maths. Backed by EkStep’s founders (Nandan & Rohini Nilekani, Shankar Maruwada), the initiative blends AI-enabled practice, classroom labs, and teacher support to close early-math gaps at scale. What I’ve done before: upGrad (Founding team, 500+ people) – Owned end-to-end learner experience for higher-ed and skilling programs: product, pedagogy, content & curriculum, instructor ops, learner success, referral/repeat revenue and product led growth: Career Outcomes: achieved 83%+ career outcomes for learners—including new jobs, promotions, salary hikes, etc. This was based on rigorous data collection of 89%+ learners (and not a sparsely filled survey) Product-Led Growth (PLG): created multiple PLG loops for growth—new programs for existing learners to increase LTV at zero additional CAC, webinar based funnel, offline conference based funnel, improved lead to paid funnel with expert counselling, etc.—that boosted qualified leads and reduced CAC Education/Technology analyst in Equity research(JP Morgan) and Investment banking (Bank of America-Merrill Lynch) Strengths Learning & Pedagogy • Product Management • Product-Led Growth • Team Leadership • EdTech Operations • Learner Outcome-Driven Mindset Happy to connect with educators, product thinkers, and builders who care about meaningful learning impact.
