About

My journey with technology began in 8th grade when I got my first computer. In 2005, I wrote my first lines of code, and by 2012—while still in college—I was freelancing, working on real-world projects. It was during this time that I spotted a gap: developers were repeatedly building the same social networking features—newsfeeds, profiles, messaging, likes, comments, and more—into their applications from scratch. This inefficiency led me to create Sociofy, a platform that provided APIs to seamlessly integrate these social elements into any web application. After graduating, I joined Infosys as a full-stack developer, where I worked on the Business Center portal for AT&T, gaining valuable insights into enterprise businesses and the IT industry. But my heart was still with Sociofy. Weekdays were for Infosys; nights and weekends were spent refining the product and gathering customer feedback. 1.5 years in, I had my answer—there was strong customer demand. So, I took the leap and went all in on my startup. My vision for Sociofy was bold: to become the social backbone for all applications—whether in enterprise, ecommerce, education, travel, food, or beyond. In 2016, I named the company Metaverse Internet Private Limited—years before the term "Metaverse" became mainstream. We made promising strides, even landing Flipkart as a major customer. But despite our traction, we struggled to secure funding, and after 3.5 years, I had to make the tough call to shut down the company. It was an intense learning experience—one that shaped my approach to product development, leadership, and resilience. Alongside running Sociofy, I found another passion: teaching full-stack development to students and professionals. Eager to expand my knowledge and network, I pursued an MBA at the Indian School of Business, which opened the door to my current role as a Product Manager at Microsoft. Since 2021, I’ve been thriving in this role—building, innovating, and tackling complex challenges that push me to grow every day. Beyond work, I actively mentor professionals transitioning into product management and advise early-stage startups. I also find joy in reading and writing—creative outlets that help me unwind. Traveling with my family is another passion, offering me fresh perspectives and new inspirations. Always building. Always learning. Always looking for the next big challenge.
