What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role where I can leverage my product management skills to drive innovation and growth, ideally in a collaborative environment that values creativity and data-driven decision-making.

I am a Product Manager with an engineering degree from IIT Bombay and over 3 years of experience in delivering impactful fintech and insurtech products. My recent entrepreneurial sabbatical allowed me to build a B2B export venture from the ground up, providing me with invaluable insights into the full business lifecycle. I thrive on blending data-driven strategies with a founder's mindset to tackle complex user challenges and create meaningful solutions.

In my role at Kotak Mahindra Bank, I successfully launched a new credit card onboarding journey, significantly reducing error rates and enhancing KYC efficiency. My tenure at HDFC Life Digital Labs further honed my skills in product ownership, where I led initiatives that dramatically increased conversion rates and scaled sales through innovative strategies. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills and product management expertise to drive growth and deliver exceptional user experiences.
