What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an end-to-end product management role where I can turn customer and business needs into prioritized product outcomes, lead cross-functional Agile delivery, and grow my skills in product strategy, market research, and go-to-market planning.

At Infosys, I bridge business stakeholders and engineering teams for retail web applications across three Agile squads. I own backlog refinement for 100+ user stories per sprint, define acceptance criteria, and help reduce defect leakage by approximately 25%.

Previously at Tata Consultancy Services, I designed test scenarios across five-plus modules, tracked 200+ defects in JIRA, and built release-quality dashboards. I'm building on this delivery foundation through IIT Roorkee's Strategic Product Management Programme as I move into end-to-end product management.
