## About

I'm a Growth Product Manager who thinks like a founder — because I've been one twice\. Currently at PhysicsWallah, I've driven INR 3Cr\+ in revenue by building and optimizing CLM pipelines, activation funnels, and dormant user retargeting across PW Store and CuriousJr\. Before that, I founded Mokx — an AI\-powered wellness platform built on 30K\+ pages of Vedic literature\. Scaled it to 5K\+ users, generated INR 1L\+ MRR, won grants from IIT Roorkee and Cisco/NASSCOM, and got selected for the Microsoft for Startups Accelerator\. My first venture, Aagaman \(digital check\-in SaaS for hotels\), got acquired\. I'm strongest at the intersection of user behavior, growth systems, and product thinking — especially in consumer space\. With a BTech in Chemical Engineering from IIT BHU, my educational foundation complements my role in developing solutions that resonate with our audience's pursuit of balance and fulfillment\. Contributing as an Innovation Consultant for Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, we've harnessed large language models to facilitate workshops that catalyze transformative ideas\. This synergy of AI and education underscores my commitment to nurturing innovative thinking and fostering a culture where knowledge sharing propels us towards collective growth\.
