About

Business & Product leader building AI-powered fintech products that help millions manage their financial lives better. Currently at Oolka, I'm building India's credit management platform from the ground up, which includes bill payment infrastructure via BBPS, hyper-personalised credit insights helping users improve their scores, AI-powered debt recovery with industry-leading economics, and new monetization verticals. Before this, I led cross-functional teams at Niro as Chief of Staff to the CEO where I worked alongside founders on strategic initiatives spanning alternative data integration, bank and NBFC partnerships, portfolio management, and fundraising. My business foundation comes from Meesho, where I learned to operate at scale, managing marketplace dynamics, orchestrating demand-supply across hundreds of thousands of merchants, building growth programs, and leading strategic partnerships.
