What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a product role where I can lead end-to-end mobile and e-commerce products, use AI/ML to build data-driven features, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive growth through experimentation and automation.

I am a product manager who leads end-to-end product lifecycles for mobile apps, e-commerce, and internal SaaS tools, reporting to executive leadership and managing cross-functional engineering and design teams. I have launched flexible purchase options that drove a 40% increase in customer acquisition and 15% revenue growth, automated ERP onboarding to achieve 3x faster onboarding with 60% less manual effort, and improved checkout and conversion through API integrations.

Prior to product management I led large-scale pan-India marketing campaigns with multi-crore monthly budgets, improving conversion rates by 45% and ROAS by 31%, and I’ve built an AI-powered EdTech platform using FastAPI, React, PostgreSQL and Google Gemini that demonstrates my hands-on technical and AI product capabilities.
