About

I love learning about and working on things related to the consumer internet, psychology and design. I've worked in and lead product and marketing teams in both the consumer internet and enterprise space, and I thrive in the fun and fast-paced environment of early-stage startups. I've worked on product at a global consumer internet company, Crowdfire (More than 16 million users globally), and currently run marketing at one of the products at Freshworks (Billion dollar Saas startup backed by Google). I also consult on India-strategy for a couple of Silicon valley startups and on product for one of the world's most used Facebook Messenger bots (About to launch in India). In my free time, I also blog on Medium and write on technology for some of the most prestigious publications worldwide including: Wired magazine, Backchannel, Quartz, The New York Observer, Huffington Post amongst others.
