What I'm looking for

I seek a senior product role where I can lead cross-functional teams to build AI-enabled, revenue-driving consumer and platform products with measurable impact.

I am a product manager with deep experience building marketplace and e‑commerce platforms, ML-enabled retention systems, and developer-facing APIs. I have led cross-functional teams at scale to drive revenue uplift, automation and improved user experiences across UK, India and global markets.

My work spans 0→1 product builds and large platform transformations — delivering a unified marketplace for 1.2M SMBs and 30M customers, launching global referral and trial SDK programs, and founding an NLP API product line that cut time-to-first-call dramatically. I prioritize measurable outcomes, pragmatic use of AI, and strong stakeholder collaboration.
