Product Manager passionate about user engagement and AI-driven solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Product Manager with a strong focus on transforming user friction into activation and engagement flywheels. My experience includes building scalable onboarding and engagement systems, particularly in shipping user-first, AI-powered products at scale. At Paytm, I successfully built ML-driven personalization and gamification systems that significantly enhanced user experiences for over 96 million monthly active users.
My key achievements include cutting the time-to-first-purchase by over 60% through the launch of a machine learning-powered loyalty rewards hub, which increased conversions by 20%. I have a proven track record of collaborating across cross-functional teams to drive retention innovations and optimize user discovery experiences, resulting in substantial increases in user engagement and revenue generation.
With a background in both product management and software engineering, I am passionate about translating cutting-edge research into simple, scalable experiences that not only drive business growth but also delight users. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in metrics-driven product development and activation optimization.
