At Porter, I grew the design and research team from 1 to 33 and delivered over ₹1.73 crore in savings across three years. I also established research and operational systems to make the product more user-first and introduced time-optimization and AI-driven productivity initiatives.

Across Flipkart, Gaana, DailyRounds/Marrow, and other product teams, I’ve worked on products in logistics, e-commerce, entertainment, and edtech. My work includes delivering product-market fit for Flipkart Minutes within three months, growing Gaana’s design team from 1 to 6, and building design systems and research practices that support product development.
