About

Founder at BluSummit, building products focused on financial independence and long-term wealth outcomes (FIRE) through better product design, clarity, and decision support. Alongside this, I bring nearly 2 decades of experience leading high-impact product organizations across consumer and B2B environments, most recently at Amazon. My background spans search, ML-backed platforms, APIs, and workflow systems, where I’ve owned long-term product vision, org design, scaled PM teams, and delivered $150M+ in measurable business impact by improving discovery, engagement, and operational leverage. I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams across product, engineering, science, design, and operations, translating ambiguous business problems into durable product systems. I’ve operated in globally distributed teams and am comfortable leading from India for both GCC and remote product organizations. At BluSummit, I apply these same principles to products that help individuals and teams make better financial decisions over long horizons — reducing noise, improving signal, and enabling outcomes aligned with financial independence. The focus is on building systems that compound, not features that spike.
