Product & Growth Manager. Have scaled 0-1 RMG app—building skill matchmaking, growth funnels, and experiments to drive revenue and retention.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product and Growth Manager with 2+ years’ experience, focused on scaling real-money gaming through product insight and measurable growth. I scaled a chess app from 0 to 2M+ downloads and ₹1.5Cr/month revenue with ~30% MoM growth by aligning acquisition, core product features, and user insights.
At DAB Games (Ziffi Chess), I architected a chess skill-rating system for more accurate skill-based matchmaking, improving fairness and player experience. I also led product strategy for cheating detection—designing post-detection validation flows to reduce false positives and strengthen platform trust.
I manage end-to-end lifecycle and execution, from funnel experimentation and real-time SQL dashboards (DAU, CAC, player retention) to international expansion (Brazil, USA) and rapid prototyping using Figma, Claude Code, and Storybook. On the growth side, I’ve run UA budgets of ₹1.2Cr+/month across Meta, Google, and other programmatic channels.
