What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my project management and agile expertise to drive impactful results.

I am a certified Scrum Master and experienced Project Manager with over 8 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to successfully deliver high-quality solutions. My proven track record includes facilitating Scrum ceremonies, project planning, and coordinating across teams and stakeholders to ensure timely and efficient delivery of products. I possess strong expertise in risk management, backlog prioritization, and continuous process improvement, making me a collaborative leader committed to fostering a self-organizing team culture.

Throughout my career, I have led significant projects, including the subscription business at Moneycontrol, where I achieved a 3X growth in active subscriptions within two years. My role involved integrating AI technologies to enhance user outcomes and reduce customer tickets significantly. I have also successfully managed multiple campaigns and conceptualized various revenue streams, driving data-informed decision-making and product enhancements. My experience at Sharekhan by BNP Paribas further honed my skills in project management, where I increased project delivery efficiency by 150% and led successful Scrum teams to deliver software solutions.
