0-to-1 Journey: Building, Scaling, and Sunsetting. I took a shot at building a digital astrology marketplace from scratch to solve "price anxiety" in the consultation market. Functioning as a full-stack Product Leader,I owned the entire lifecycle—from deep user discovery and problem validation to designing the supply-side logic and managing the P&L. The Product & Scale: 0 → 1 Launch: Built and shipped the MVP in record time, bifurcating the product into "Quick Advise" (acquisition hook) and "Deep Advise" (retention driver) to optimize unit economics. Validated PMF: Scaled to 5,000+ registered users and 8,000+ monthly consultations in the first month, proving strong demand velocity. ​ Marketplace Liquidity: Engineered a supply-side ranking algorithm to prioritize high-conversion astrologers, ensuring high fill rates for daily demand. ​ The Outcome: Despite validating the core user hypothesis and achieving rapid traction, we made the difficult decision to sunset operations due to fundraising challenges in a tough macro environment. This experience was a masterclass in ruthless prioritization, GTM execution, and managing unit economics under extreme constraints—skills I now bring back to high-scale product roles.

Building the Trust Engine: From Zero to Revenue Ready. I joined to spearhead the 0-to-1 launch of an early-stage Real Money Gaming (RMG) platform, tasked with turning a concept into a compliant, revenue-generating business in a highly competitive market. Key Wins: The Launchpad (Compliance & Revenue): Managed the end-to-end readiness for v0 launch, integrating complex KYC workflows, Payment Gateways, and gameplay loops to ensure 100% compliance and seamless transactions from Day 1. ​ UX Overhaul: Led a complete redesign of the Core Game Table UX. By removing friction in critical user journeys, we drove a >20% lift in session time and repeat gameplay. ​ Organic Growth Engine: Designed and launched a viral referral program to solve the "high CAC" problem, successfully scaling the platform to 2,000+ monthly new users through purely organic loops. ​ Strategic Roadmap: Defined the annual roadmap with a focus on "Trust" as our core differentiator, prioritizing features that established credibility against established incumbents.

About

Product Manager with ~5 years of experience in Consumer Tech, Fintech, and Gaming. I enjoy the process of turning ambiguous user problems into structured product problems that drive measurable business value. My experience spans from scaling established products at Games24x7 (RummyCircle) to building 0-to-1 solutions as a founder. I am comfortable working across the full product lifecycle—from problem discovery and identifying key metric drivers to optimizing product funnels and executing go-to-market strategies. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can partner closely with Engineering, Design, and Business teams to ship quality products. Core Competencies: Product Strategy | Unit Economics | SQL & Analytics | A/B Testing | User Psychology | GTM Execution. Always open to discussing problems in Fintech, Gaming, and Consumer Space.
