What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my product management skills to drive user engagement and growth.

I am an IIT Roorkee graduate with over 6 years of extensive experience in product management, specializing in product-led growth and user retention. My journey has been marked by a commitment to customer-centricity and data-driven decision-making, which has enabled me to drive significant improvements in user engagement and revenue growth.

At FRND, I engineered first-call activation strategies that led to a 10% increase in average call duration and a 20% boost in ARPU. My role involved optimizing onboarding experiences and launching innovative offerings that resulted in substantial increases in user spending. Previously, at BrightChamps, I spearheaded a product-led growth strategy that achieved an 8x increase in referral revenue and enhanced lead conversion rates through innovative UX design.

My experience also includes leading cross-functional teams to overhaul onboarding processes and develop in-house platforms that significantly improved user retention. I am passionate about leveraging design thinking and market research to create products that resonate with users and drive business success.
