What I'm looking for

I am looking for senior product or growth roles where I can lead cross-functional teams to build and scale 0-to-1 features, improve retention, and expand into new markets within data-driven, fast-moving consumer tech environments.

I am a product and growth leader with 9+ years of experience building 0-to-1 features, leading UX revamps, and executing international market expansions for consumer tech products.

At WinZO Games I launched an IPL-themed card-trading feature used by over 1M users and 1.5M daily trades, scaled referrals 3x across four countries, and built an influencer onboarding platform for Brazil and the US.

Previously at Uber I led driver operations and P&L for Uber Moto across 25 cities, delivering a 10x growth turnaround and improving profitability, and I designed critical pandemic payment systems disbursing ₹25cr to 95K drivers.

I began my career as an SDE II building applications used by over one million ATMs globally and I leverage data-driven decision making, cross-functional leadership, experimentation, and AI/no-code tools to speed delivery and improve retention and compliance.
