About

With over 12 years of experience in product management, I am passionate about creating unique and valuable products that enhance people's lives. I graduated from IIT Bombay, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. Currently, I am the Principal Product Manager at Miko, a leading company in conversational companion robots for kids. I lead a team of innovators that has successfully launched 2 robots in US, namely Miko 3 and Miko Mini. Previously, I was part of a 10-member Innovation Cell at Godrej Appliances, where we built first generation small kitchen appliances around new age healthy cooking. I owned the development of two of the products, coordinated the design, engineering, and sourcing teams, and forged strategic tie-ups across academia and influencers. I also developed key value propositions and market sizing for business case presentation. I am motivated by the challenge of finding and solving unmet needs in the market, and by the opportunity to work with talented and diverse teams. I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new domains. I aspire to make a positive impact in the world through my products.
