About

As a data-driven AI Product Manager, currently, I’m a Founding AI Product Lead at a stealth AI startup, working on an indigenously developed LLM in India. I lead end-to-end product strategy across growth, UI/UX, and data—partnering closely with engineering and stakeholders to define use cases, align product direction, and translate model capabilities into practical, user-facing applications. My role involves shaping product decisions across model capabilities, user experience, and business impact,ensuring the system is not only technically strong but also usable and scalable. Previously at Zykrr, a B2B Customer Experience Analytics platform, I led initiatives to make data more actionable. I spearheaded the revamp of the User Analytics Dashboard, improving clarity and decision-making through better data visualization and user research. I also led the redesign of the date filter system, optimizing backend data retrieval and reducing fetch time by 30%. Additionally, I developed the ‘My Profile’ module to drive personalization, improve engagement, and ensure strong data quality standards. Previously, as a Growth Marketer and Product Designer, I honed my skills in leveraging data for customer acquisition and developing solutions for major e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Ajio, Myntra, Flipkart etc I also host AI-GNITION, an AI + Product podcast where I speak with product leaders from leading tech companies on how AI is shaping product thinking and execution. https://www.youtube.com/@AI-GNITION/videos
