About

Full-stack PM — product, revenue, and GTM. Started my product career at Meritto (formerly NoPaperForms) where I built the Automation Module from scratch — 75% client adoption across 800 customers, DLT failures 25% → 2%, and PS effort cut by 80%. Opened the product for the EdTech vertical, expanding the target customer base by 3x. Moved to LeadSquared to build Service CRM from zero. Today: $1.3M ARR, 80+ customers (including US, Singapore, Middle East), team of 40. Architected the full stack — Core Ticketing Platform, Omnichannel Communication Layer, Customer 360, AI Suite, Knowledge Base, and Dashboards. Monetised AI independently — seed + usage-based pricing, 40% free-to-paid conversion, $300K ARR at 2.5x growth. 10% AI churn vs 18% overall — AI is the retention moat. Drove measurable outcomes: Agent TAT 66hrs → 20hrs, NPS 17 → 31, CSAT 3.6 → 4.5, churn 30% → 18%, pipeline $500K → $1.5M.
