What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and strategic growth.

I am an established tech professional with over 18 years of experience leading teams across geographies. My expertise lies in driving success in B2B and B2C product management within sectors such as FinTech, Telecom, and Media. Currently, I serve as the Head of India Operations at Bank Jago, where I oversee operational functions and strategic planning, ensuring alignment with global objectives.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to deliver results. For instance, I maintained a 0% manpower cut during the tech winter of 2021-2023 while increasing headcount by 10%. My strategic initiatives have led to significant cost savings and operational efficiencies, such as achieving over USD 750,000 in savings through successful product migrations. I am passionate about fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, which I believe is essential for driving growth and success in any organization.
