About

⚡ Product Owner | Business Analyst | Agile Enthusiast ⚡ With over 8 years of experience across Oil & Gas, Insurance, and Healthcare, I’m currently the “keeper of the product vision” (yes, like Dumbledore with a roadmap ✨) for three key products: a. Just Perform (ERP) b. FastPost (Accounting Hub) c. ViaReport Backoffice (Close & Consolidation) Before stepping into product ownership, I was the business analyst who made sure requirements were as clear as Ross saying “We were on a break!” — and earned client appreciation along the way. Now, I lead a brilliant team, breaking down big product goals into clear, actionable steps so everyone understands the what, why, and how. All this while staying true to Agile principles (pivoting faster than Joey deciding on pizza toppings 🍕). 🎓 Certified in Product Management from IIT Roorkee and POPM Scale. 💡 Passionate about building products that align with company goals and make a real-world impact. 🤝 Always open to conversations about product management, agile practices, or even a debate on which Friends character would make the best Product Owner (spoiler: it’s Monica). “Products, like magic, are all about balance — vision, discipline, and a touch of fun.”
