About

As the Chief Product & Technology Officer (CPTO) and part of the founding team at SHIPMAXX.in and SHIPWAY.com, I lead the company’s end-to-end growth journey, driving P&L ownership, revenue modeling, GTM strategy, financial planning, and five-year strategic vision. I oversee all major functions, including Product, Technology, Marketing, Sales, Operations, Finance, HR, Key Account Management, and Support, ensuring seamless alignment across teams toward shared business objectives. I have successfully implemented a POD-based organizational structure aligned with Six Sigma, Agile, and Lean Startup methodologies, enhancing operational efficiency, cross-functional collaboration, and accountability. With extensive experience in scaling organizations, I specialize in taking companies through all growth stages — from 0–1 (foundation and product-market fit), 1–10 (process optimization and growth), to 10–50 (expansion and brand leadership). Under my leadership, SHIPMAXX evolved from a startup concept into a recognized logistics SaaS brand, delivering scalable order and inventory management solutions for India’s eCommerce ecosystem. I also designed and deployed a comprehensive Warehouse Management System (WMS) covering Bulk, B2B, B2C, D2C, and Social Commerce operations — managing the complete cycle from gate-in and yard management to dock release and dispatch automation. As a seasoned Head of Product with over 12 years of experience, I have led high-performing Product Manager teams, overseeing strategic roadmaps, product launches, marketing strategies, and lifecycle management. I excel in gathering stakeholder and client feedback, analyzing market and competitor insights, and driving innovative solutions that maximize business impact. I oversee product financial performance, revenue targets, market positioning, and client value propositions, and I actively collaborate with external partners and alliances to develop products, negotiate agreements, and foster long-term strategic relationships. My technical expertise includes relational databases, SQL, JIRA for requirement tracking, and Power BI for reporting. I am passionate about building tech-driven, process-aligned organizations that combine innovation, operational excellence, and customer success to deliver measurable results. My mission is to create scalable, market-ready products, drive growth at every stage, and transform logistics and SaaS ecosystems with cutting-edge technology and visionary leadership.
