About

I’m a product leader and entrepreneur with 10+ years of experience building delightful consumer products across fintech, SaaS, and consumer tech. At Simpl, India’s leading BNPL platform with 10M+ users, I’ve led consumer growth and monetisation through design-led consumer-first initiatives across the customer lifecycle. I launched India’s first BNPL membership subscription, "Select", and scaled a new revenue stream from $0 to $2.4M ARR with full P&L ownership. I drove platform growth through a behavioural rewards program, pricing innovation, and strategic partnerships that accelerated user acquisition and retention. My work spans end-to-end product strategy and GTM, building design-led, intuitive user experiences and cross-functional execution within critical P&L and timeline constraints. Before Simpl, I helped build ThinkLink, a seed-stage cybersecurity SaaS venture, from 0 to 250K ARR in 12 months by designing and shipping a multi-product SaaS portfolio and establishing a repeatable GTM motion. Earlier, I bootstrapped Speckbit, an ed-tech platform at 19 and grew it to $200K ARR in 3yrs, and even before that, founded Science Panorama at 16 — an online science magazine that hit 1M+ page views organically. I thrive in founder-style problem-solving for designing delightful consumer experiences, commercial sharpness, and the ability to turn zero-to-one bets into scalable revenue systems.
