About

1200+ students coached. 95% interview success rate. 10+ years in Product..... But numbers weren’t always on my side. During my MBA, I was rejected 17 times before cracking my first PM role. Every rejection felt heavy. Every “No” made me doubt if I belonged in Product. That journey taught me something no textbook could— ✅ Clarity matters more than jargon. ✅ Stories matter more than buzzwords. And confidence comes from practice, not luck. Over the last decade, I’ve built products at Khoros, Media.net, and AmbitionBox— and turned those lessons into a playbook for others. Today, I coach aspiring MBAs and professionals who feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed in their PM journey. Together, we: ✅ Craft resumes that tell a story ✅ Practice interviews that feel natural ✅ Build confidence that lasts in the real world I’ve seen students go from repeated rejections → PM roles at Amazon, Flipkart, Razorpay, Meesho and more. If you’re chasing your PM dream but don’t know where to start— 📩 DM me “PM” or book a 1:1. Sometimes one conversation changes everything.
