About

I’m a final-year B.Tech student at IIT BHU working at the intersection of product, data, and strategy, with hands-on experience building and scaling products across edtech, D2C, and startup ecosystems. As a Product Intern at RAAM Group, I owned AI-driven features end-to-end working on PRDs, wireframes, and cross-functional execution driving 30% operational efficiency improvement, 40% engagement growth, and 15% conversion uplift. My strengths lie in product thinking, user-centric problem solving, and structured execution, shaped by experiences spanning 0→1 product building, product discovery, GTM, and founder-led initiatives through startups and E-Cell IIT BHU. I’m actively seeking full-time roles in Product Management, Product/Data/Business Analytics, Founder’s Office, and Growth & Strategy.
