• Sadhan (formerly YSG Cabs & Logistics) | 0→1 Transport Tech Startup
• Sadhan was a transport demand aggregator providing mobility solutions across employee transport, hospitality, and events. I joined to build the company's technology foundation from the ground up — and ended up doing far more than product.
• Built Sadhan's SaaS platform from 0→1, designing a cross-category transport platform that could serve fundamentally different verticals (corporate commutes, hospitality transfers, event logistics) on a single tech stack while maintaining distinct SLAs for each.
• Designed and launched mobile apps for drivers and riders, plus a business intelligence platform for vendors and route operators — solving for wildly different personas with different needs, tech literacy, and incentive structures.
• Built route optimization and driver profiling powered by ML to improve fleet efficiency and reliability.
• Introduced IoT-based onboard diagnostics for predictive vehicle health monitoring and asset management.
• Created rider experience and operational performance frameworks that balanced cost efficiency with service quality.
• Beyond product, I was deeply involved in shaping the business itself — building the fundraising narrative, pushing for Series A, hiring across functions, and helping Sadhan transition from a services company to a SaaS-led growth model. This was 0→1 in every sense: product, team, business model, and funding.

• GoVacuum | US E-Commerce Retailer | Home & Garden Category Leader
• GoVacuum was a US-based online retailer specializing in the Home & Garden segment
• My formative chapter. Joined as a product manager for a growing e-commerce operation and grew into running the business over five years.
• PM → Senior PM:** Built the product management function from scratch — catalog strategy, pricing architecture, go-to-market execution. In a small company, "product manager" quickly meant everything: writing specs, negotiating with suppliers, solving fulfillment problems, and figuring out what was on fire that week.
• General Manager:** Took on full P&L ownership — business strategy, revenue growth, team building, and operational decisions. Learned how every function connects: how a pricing decision hits margins, how a supplier issue cascades into fulfillment, how hiring the wrong person costs you months.
• This role gave me something most product leaders don't have: the experience of building a business from the ground up, making hard tradeoffs between product investment and business survival, and understanding that great products only matter if the business around them works. business scale beyond founder-dependency. Owned the roadmap but also the org chart.
• The Ownership (GM, Product & Business):** Full P&L responsibility. Led fundraising pitches, managed investor relationships, set business strategy, and drove revenue growth — all while still owning product. This is where I learned that great product leadership isn't just about building the right thing; it's about building the right business around it.
• This role gave me something most product leaders don't have: the experience of building a company from near-zero, making every hard tradeoff between product investment and business survival, and understanding how every function — finance, ops, hiring, fundraising — connects to whether a product actually succeeds in the market.
