About

Product Leader with 15+ years of experience scaling B2B SaaS platforms and driving digital transformation across the USA, Southeast Asia, India, Europe and the Middle East. I've worked with high-growth startups and large enterprises alike—building impactful products across foodtech, eCommerce, logistics, telecom, and banking. Currently at Culinary Digital, I lead the product roadmap across a multi-product suite powering foodservice operations in healthcare, corrections, and education across United States. I’m focused on modernizing legacy systems, integrating AI-driven decision intelligence, and enabling scalable, real-time operations for institutional clients across North America. My role spans roadmap execution, product strategy, stakeholder alignment, and platform-level innovation. Previously, I served as Senior Director of Product at Anchanto, a leading APAC B2B SaaS company, where I scaled product revenue from S$1.5M to S$17M. I launched enterprise-grade platforms (OMS, WMS, OXM,Parcel Tracking, Control Tower) from 0-1 which is used by global retailers, 3PLs, and logistics providers across Singapore, UAE, Malaysia, France, and the UK—delivering SaaS solutions that enabled omnichannel commerce at scale. Earlier, at Reliance Jio, I managed digital retail transformation initiatives exceeding $10M in scope—covering merchant onboarding, AI-enhanced store fulfillment, and telecom CX platforms at national scale. At Vodafone Idea, I launched market-leading postpaid and VAS products that significantly grew recurring revenue and won national awards. My journey began at HDFC Bank, where I deployed enterprise data platforms and led digital innovation from the ground up.
