About

I build consumer internet businesses by combining product strategy, AI, growth, marketplace economics and organisational leadership. Over 14+ years of building technology products spanning across e-commerce, marketplace and consumer durable industries. Currently as Head of Consumer Product at Housing, I lead the experience for 15Mn+ MAU across AI powered search, discovery and personalisation, conversion, engagement, and digital monetisation. Over the last 5 years I have scaled the platform from 1Mn to 15Mn MAU delivering 60%+ conversion uplift and 20%+ engagement, contributing to $35Mn+ in business. I lead an organisation of 10 Product Leaders and ~50 technology professionals across Product, Engineering, ML, Design and Data, with a focus on translating strategy and AI into measurable customer and business outcomes. I have also helped shape an AI-first product operating model, embedding AI into how product teams discover, decide and execute. Previously at Flipkart I worked on strategic initiatives including zero-to-one launch and scale-up of Flipkart Plus, SuperCoins and the Rewards ecosystem, as well as capabilities supporting high-scale commerce events. These programs served 100Mn+ consumers and drove 3% jump in GMV by growing transaction per customer and retention. Before Flipkart, at Samsung, I led product strategy and launches for capital-intensive consumer durable portfolios across Washing Machines and Microwave Ovens—integrating consumer insight, CAPEX decisions, demand and supply planning, GTM and software-enabled experiences. I launched products including ActiveWash, SlimFry and Smart Oven, contributing to market-share growth from 28% to 34% and category leadership in India, while helping bridge physical products with connected digital experiences. I began my career with TCIL, leading telecom network expansion programs in Kuwait and building expertise in FTTH consulting, network planning and large-scale execution. I am an XLRI Jamshedpur Silver Medallist, and have received multiple scholarships and recognitions across my academic and professional journey.
