At Swiggy, I led product strategy and 0-to-1 execution for Dineout’s scan-order-pay Digital Menu QR. It grew from 44 to 4,500+ weekly digital transactions and reached INR 1.3 Cr in monthly GMV across 576 restaurants in 10+ cities.

I also improved the Digital Menu payment journey, raising conversion from 5% to 23% in four days and surpassing the target by 2.3x. Expanding the POS ecosystem to 8+ integrations included delivering PetPooja two-way order sync in two weeks.

At Junglee Games, I worked across retention, engagement and acquisition for Junglee Rummy. I launched a Recommended Games discovery engine that increased retention by 10% and generated INR 30L in daily revenue, and multilingual app capabilities that lifted retention by 4%.

Earlier, at Meesho, I built predictive 3PL allocation logic that reduced delivery variance and fulfillment escalations. At Mastercard, I worked on payments strategy consulting and onboarding Airtel Payments Bank.
