About

As a CSPO®-certified Product and Program Manager with a proven track record across FinTech, Banking, and IT services, I thrive at the intersection of business strategy, technology, and operational excellence. At ICICI Bank, I led digital payment projects that increased revenue by 18% and reduced turnaround time by 20% through process and technology collaboration. At Tech Mahindra, my work in sales cycle optimization prevented ₹700 Cr in quarterly revenue leakage and drove 12% non-linear revenue growth. I’m passionate about transforming complex business challenges into scalable, customer-centric digital solutions. My expertise spans process transformation, cross-functional team leadership, and data-driven decision-making. With a strong foundation from IIM Kashipur and global exposure at Aalborg University, I bring both analytical rigor and a growth mindset to every initiative. Let’s connect if you’re interested in digital transformation, operational excellence, or building high-impact teams in FinTech and beyond!
