I build lending products that grow conversion, repayment, and portfolio quality.
What I'm looking for
I've built and scaled lending products across Signzy, Dvara Money, and Capzest, spanning acquisition, underwriting, activation, repayment, retention, and risk. My work has supported 100K+ borrowers, $5M in disbursals, and underwriting funnels for 15 banks and NBFCs.
At Signzy, I lead the Underwriting Data Platform, scaling it from zero to 5M+ monthly API calls and 27% of flagship ARR. I’ve improved Account Aggregator data fill to about 75%, scaled AA Switch to 1M+ calls per month, and reduced GST data-fetch P95 latency from 90 seconds to 20 seconds.
At Dvara Money, I led lending from launch through v2.4 as the lone PM, working across product, risk, collections, data, and operations. I grew the platform to 100K+ borrowers, reduced 90+ DPD from 7.1% to 3.2%, expanded the credit line from INR 1 Cr to INR 30 Cr, and built repeat-loan flows that reached 40% of the portfolio.
As Capzest co-founder and Product Head, I built a salary-linked credit platform to 22.5K borrowers across six cities. I found product-market fit through employer integrations, created an INR 0 CAC channel, and used weekly repayment cohorts to reduce defaults from 37% to 5.6%.
