About

Building Solutions, Leading Teams, Driving Innovation My journey in technology started with a simple fascination: how could I use code to solve problems that actually matter? Over the past 18 years, that curiosity has evolved into a career focused on turning complex challenges into scalable, innovative solutions. Along the way, I have had the privilege of leading teams, managing R&D products, and optimizing service processes—all with the aim of making technology work for businesses and people alike. From Solving Problems to Shaping Strategies Early in my career, I realized that the real power of technology lies in its ability to transform ideas into action. As I progressed through roles in development, management, and leadership, I learned to blend my technical expertise with strategic thinking. Whether it’s cutting SLAs down by 20 minutes or defining product roadmaps, my work has always been about driving efficiency, improving user experiences, and setting teams up for success. At SurveyMonkey India, I lead market research initiatives, cultivate key stakeholder relationships, and drive high-performing teams to achieve more. Before that, I spearheaded product design and development at McAfee, Philips Healthcare, and Intel, collaborating with engineering and product teams to deliver high-quality features that serve global markets. A Passion for Building the Future What excites me most is working at the intersection of technology and business strategy. I am passionate about using technologies like Python, Go, C#, and AI tools like OpenAI and NLP to create solutions that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. From privacy protection to parental controls, I have worked on projects that safeguard users' data, enhance security, and deliver meaningful results. But beyond the technical work, it’s the collaboration that truly drives me. I believe in the power of empowering teams and creating environments where people can thrive, innovate, and push boundaries. What’s Next? As I continue my journey, I remain committed to building impactful solutions, leading talented teams, and staying at the forefront of technology. If you are passionate about creating tech that matters—whether it’s in market research, product strategy, or R&D—I would love to connect and explore how we can collaborate to build the future together.
