About

🎯 Product Manager | Growth, Monetisation, Retention | Fintech, Gaming, Consumer Products Product Manager with 5+ years of experience delivering high-impact outcomes across fintech, gaming, and consumer internet. I’ve led products through both 0→1 builds and scaled growth, shaping strategies that drive engagement, retention, monetisation, and long-term product value. Across every role, my work has centred around a single belief: great products are a marriage of business impact and beautiful user experiences. I’m an advocate for crafting thoughtful, intuitive interfaces that not only convert but also delight : helping products become part of a user’s habit loop. At the core of my process lies structured problem-solving, backed by data-driven insights, rapid experimentation, and a strong orientation toward user behaviour and system thinking. I’ve worked closely with engineering, design, analytics, and GTM teams to define roadmaps, ship impactful features, and unlock product-led growth across stages. Now driving the next step in my development through transforming work style into becoming an AI native individual contributor. 🧠 Areas of Expertise: Product strategy • Growth loops • Monetisation • Retention and resurrection • Product analytics • Experimentation • Stakeholder alignment • User journey mapping • A/B testing • App store optimisation • Funnel conversion • Data-driven roadmapping • Machine learning and Data Science 💼 Industries & Product Types: Fintech (UPI, credit, rewards) • Casual gaming • Puzzle and word games • Loyalty programs • Subscription models • Consumer platforms • E-commerce experiences 🔧 Skills & Tools: SQL • Python • Tableau • Jira • Figma • Agile frameworks • Forecasting • Feature rollout • Behavioral design • User feedback loops • GTM planning • Product ops • AI Native (Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, ChatGPT) Collaborative by nature and systems-driven in thinking, I thrive on building high-leverage products that scale with intention. “The details are not the details. They make the design.” – Charles Eames A product is no different. It’s in the craft, the intent, and the quiet moments that we shape what users will love and return to. My DM is always open to exchange notes, ideas and jam on everything product, analytics, behavioural design, and crafting beautiful experiences.
