About

Most engineers measure success by what shipped. I measure it by what changed for the user. At Jio, I've spent 3 years building enterprise products for 200K+ employees but my focus has always been upstream: why do users drop off, where does the journey break, and what's the fastest path to fixing it. That mindset drove a 50% increase in engagement on the PeopleFirst app, a 40% lift in workflow completion rates, and scaled payslip access from 20K to 50K users not through rewrites, but through sharper UX decisions and cross-functional collaboration. At NextLeap, I've taken that thinking further — writing PRDs, conducting product teardowns, building AI-powered tools that turn raw Play Store reviews into actionable product insights, and defining activation metrics for developer tools like n8n. What changed for me wasn't the tooling it was realizing the hardest problems in product aren't technical. They're about what to build, for whom, and why. Engineering gave me the depth to build. Product thinking gives me the direction. Open to product roles where both matter.
