Senior product manager building agent-first, QR-led digital platforms and fintech experiences.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Manager with 3.5 years in PM roles (9 years total including product development) across DRS, fintech, and banking.
I built the world’s first QR-led Digital DRS—shipping multi-country rollouts with 7+ apps, 5+ stakeholders, and 4+ 3P integrations—while co-authored tender submissions and leading go-lives (e.g., Goa onboarding 70+ brands in 2 months; Bhutan launched 6M+ containers).
I’m agent-first by design, using AI to help non-tech teams execute product workflows (Claude API + tool use), automate screening for 490 candidates, and deploy an autonomous job-search agent. At Recykal, I defined the product org, hired and mentored 4 PMs/APMs, and pushed 0→1 through roadmap, experimentation, and scaling.
