What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build high-impact growth, conversion, and monetization products where experimentation, user insight, and measurable revenue outcomes shape the roadmap.

I've built growth, conversion, and ad monetisation products across Kerala Ayurveda, Apollo 24|7, Zepto, Bigbasket, Rapido, and Heckyl Technologies. My work spans Q-commerce, D2C, ad-tech, pricing, customer support, and data products.

At Kerala Ayurveda, I own end-to-end D2C revenue efficiency, built its first structured conversion funnel model, and established a hypothesis-driven CRO program. I delivered a 7.5% QoQ improvement in website conversion rate through funnel, UX, and Shopify performance optimisation.

At Apollo 24|7, I launched rich-media ad formats that increased CTR by 32% and ads revenue by 25% in four months, while building AI-led personalised experiences and a repeat-purchase journey for a ₹1 Cr-GMV per-day flow. Previously at Zepto, I was an early hire who built the ad revenue stream from 0-to-1, growing it 300x to contribute 3%–3.5% of GMV.

I've also improved campaign creation at Bigbasket, reduced captain support contact ratio by 35% at Rapido, and owned financial-data products for banking and hedge-fund clients at Heckyl. I enjoy using A/B testing, user behaviour, pricing, and cross-functional execution to turn customer friction into measurable growth.
