About

Hey there! With over 12 years in the product jungle, I've swung through roles in product management, marketing, and even had a wild ride in entrepreneurship. Currently, I'm the big cheese as a Principal Product Manager at BYJU'S, India's edtech giant. Before BYJU'S, I co-founded Playo, India's MVP (Most Valuable Player) sports community app, scoring the "App of the Year - 2018" title from Google Play Store. I was the MVP of marketing, dribbling efforts into brand building, slam-dunking customer acquisition, and rallying user engagement. I also played coach, mentoring marketers, and hitting speaking gigs at events. I've also got my GrowthX stripes, being a part of their fellowship for product and growth pros, soaking up knowledge from top dogs in the industry. When I'm not knee-deep in product puzzles, I'm exploring different creative avenues, turning inspiration into innovation. I'm all about crafting products that not only work but also make users go "Wow!"
