Technical Product Manager driving growth through engineering-led solutions.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Technical Product Manager with 5+ years of experience combining a strong B2C product-growth focus with a foundation in software engineering. I lead cross-functional engineering and data teams to ship ML-driven and hybrid technical solutions that move key metrics.
At a two-sided marketplace, I launched an ML-based dynamic pricing model that increased daily rides by 33% and shipped Forward Dispatch to reduce driver idle time by 32% while improving retention. I also cut map API costs by 30% (₹2 Cr/year) by architecting a de-risked hybrid OSRM engine and re-prioritizing the roadmap toward higher-impact growth initiatives.
I have driven measurable improvements in conversion and engagement at scale: increasing free-to-paid conversion from ~0.3% to 4%, improving onboarding to 50%+, and raising weekly time spent by ~25% through rapid experimentation and UX fixes. I also led product integrations with partners to double average ticket conversion and reduced support tickets by 30% by redesigning self-serve help flows.
My background as a software engineer and early-stage co-founder helps me balance technical trade-offs, cost optimization, and stakeholder management while shipping reliable, production-ready APIs and features. I prioritize data-driven decisions, experimentation, and pragmatic engineering to deliver customer value and sustainable growth.
