What I'm looking for

I am looking for a team that is driven and likes to aim high. My experience with music streaming, video streaming, gaming, other consumer internet products makes me thing from the user's perspective. Cross functional team management, project goal management, business development are my strong points. I am keen on working with technology and non tech teams to build brilliant products.

I have recently completed 2 + years of hands-on experience at a Web3 firm - Infrasingularity LLC (Miami) as a Project/Business Development / Partnerships manager where I was the 2nd employee so I handled onboarding of 200+ infrastructure clients, while managing protocol integrations, ecosystem interactions and network reliability bringing in a revenue of 100M+ USD through multiple pipelines I built including vc's, staking partners and other infrastructure partners.

Before that, until March 2023, I was with Rush Gaming Universe (Hike) - creating Real Money Games from scratch, managing a team of 70+ including engineers, qa, game design, UI/UX design, art and Product. At Hike, I've previously worked on Social apps - dating (HikeLand, Vibe Community) for the first 1.5 years.

Before end of 2019, I worked on Product Marketing and Growth for Video streaming app (Airtel Black/Airtel Xstream - OTT) and Product Operations for Music streaming (Airtel Wynk Music) over a span of 7 years.

Earlier I worked in the mobile phone ODM industry and witnessed the introduction and growth Android phones in India.
