Product Leader

Nov 2020 – Present · 5 yrs 7 mos · India · On-site

At LightBeam.ai, I build and scale an AI-driven Data Security, Privacy, and Governance platform that enables enterprises to discover, govern, and protect sensitive data across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments.
As a founding team member, I lead product strategy and execution end-to-end — from defining the product vision and roadmap to partnering closely with Engineering, Customer Success, Sales Engineering, GTM, and Marketing. I work directly with customers to translate real-world security, privacy, and compliance challenges into scalable product capabilities across DSPM, PrivacyOps, Access Governance, UEBA, and Access Reviews, ensuring audit readiness and continuous risk reduction.
What LightBeam does & why we exist:
LightBeam’s mission is to make data security, privacy, and governance operational, intelligent, and continuous. We believe organizations should always know what sensitive data they have, where it lives, who has access to it, how it’s governed, and how risk evolves over time. Our vision is to move beyond point-in-time audits and fragmented tools toward a future where security controls, access governance, and compliance workflows are embedded into daily operations — powered by AI, automation, and clear ownership across teams.
