About

I believe in building long-lasting, innovative, and valuable software products. Currently, I am building Dialpad Meetings, An AI-powered video conferencing product. At Dialpad, I work closely with the executive leadership on the strategy and long-term vision of the product team. We are trying to help people be more productive and collaborative using AI. During my stint, I released many innovative and table stake features like virtual background, waiting rooms, ai-based real-time transcription, meeting timers, etc., to strengthen our position in the UCaaS (Universal Communication as a Service) market. We have been recognized as 'Visionary' by Gartner, Forrester, and many similar market research firms for our efforts. I have been building products for almost a decade. I started my career as a software developer and moved to a full-time product role around 8-9 years back. In the past, I have built products in food-tech, CAD, social media, data visualization, business intelligence, and business communication.
