Data-driven Product Manager delivering Agile roadmap execution, backlog prioritization, and measurable growth through experimentation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Product Manager with 2+ years of experience driving roadmap execution, backlog prioritization, and data-driven growth in Agile environments. I’m certified by IIT Roorkee in Product Management, and I focus on turning customer needs into clear requirements and outcomes.
At Tata Consultancy Services, I defined and groomed 100+ backlog items using RICE and MoSCoW, supported 2-week sprint cycles across 3 engineering teams, and improved on-time delivery by 15%. I also reduced stakeholder escalations by 20% through proactive dependency tracking across 5 teams.
I build KPI systems and dashboards that keep teams aligned and delivery transparent. I’ve authored 50+ user stories and PRDs, reduced requirements clarification cycles by an estimated 30%, and led Scrum ceremonies for a team of 8 to improve sprint predictability.
As a Freelance Product Manager, I delivered 10+ features across 2 B2C products, improving retention by 18% over 6 months (Mixpanel). I used Mixpanel and Amplitude to define North Star metrics and funnel KPIs, ran 20+ user interviews, and supported go-to-market execution for 2 launches.
