About

As a Product Manager at Microsoft AI, I sit at the intersection of platform strategy and user experience. I don't just build features; I scale ecosystems. My background spans both backend shopping platforms and frontend consumer experiences, allowing me to translate complex tech stacks into seamless user journeys. Core Highlights: 1. Scale: Led Bing Shopping features across 50+ countries and 5+ time zones, achieving 20X YoY user growth. 2. Strategy: Hold an MBA from FMS Delhi, combining technical intuition with market strategy. 3. Recognition: Represented Microsoft in the DPIIT National Hackathon (Govt. of India). Beyond the code, I am deeply invested in community impact. I have mentored 1,000+ PM aspirants and, as a Google Local Guide, my photography has garnered 54 Million+ views, helping millions navigate the physical world just as I help them navigate the digital one. I am always open to discussing Generative AI, Product Growth, or the best spots for photography. Let's connect!
