Aspiring Product Manager | Building AI-Powered Products | User Research | Product Analytics | MBA (Marketing)

About

I’m transitioning into Product Management after experience in customer relationship management, business development, and portfolio management at HDFC Bank and Sarthak Industries. Over the past year, I’ve intentionally built my product skills through PM fellowships and hands-on projects across AI, consumer technology, fintech, and SaaS. My work spans user research, product discovery, analytics, PRDs, prioritization, and AI-powered prototyping. I particularly enjoy understanding customer problems, turning messy insights into clear product opportunities, and using AI to build and test solutions quickly. Currently exploring opportunities in Product Management, AI Products, and Product Analytics.
