I build and scale subscription, publishing, and AI-powered digital products that grow revenue and engagement.
What I'm looking for
I've built and scaled digital products across subscription commerce, digital publishing, and risk and compliance for more than 17 years.
At IE Online Media Services, I owned monetization strategy, pricing, and go-to-market execution for a subscription SaaS platform, scaling revenue to 10+ Cr ARR. I improved funnel-to-checkout conversion by 15% QoQ, DAU by 20%, and purchase conversion by 30% through experimentation, lifecycle automation, and segmentation.
At Hindustan Times Digital Streams, I launched subscription products that grew traffic by 30%, reached 40K subscribers, and generated 5.4 Cr in annual revenue. I also digitized print workflows into a custom CMS, improved distribution efficiency by 40%, and helped add 4–5M incremental users through ML-based content experiences.
I'm now advising early-stage startups on product strategy, monetization, GTM, and growth while helping small businesses adopt AI. I also build AI-powered tools, including image classification and LinkedIn content-generation applications, and mentor aspiring product managers.
