About
Product professional with 5+ years of experience building & scaling large digital platforms across consumer media and global telecom, with a strong focus on problem clarity, measurable impact, and sound product judgment. I currently work as an Assistant Product Manager – Digital at SonyLIV (Sony Pictures Networks India), contributing to product initiatives across mobile, web, and TV ecosystems serving 35M+ monthly users. My work spans growth, AVOD monetization, experimentation, and lifecycle optimization, with ownership from discovery through delivery and post-launch learning. In this role, I’ve helped scale high-engagement consumer surfaces, driving 1.3B+ views and $1.5M+ incremental revenue, while running large-scale experimentation to improve CTR, watch time, onboarding performance, and CSAT. Much of my work involves operating in ambiguous problem spaces—balancing user experience, monetization, and platform constraints—where progress depends less on shipping features and more on making the right trade-offs, sequencing bets, and defining success clearly. Earlier in my career at Ericsson, I functioned as a product owner on enterprise automation platforms supporting 8 global telecom clients across 25+ countries. Over time, my scope expanded from engineering execution to owning problem definition and system-level solutions, delivering automation that reduced operational ticket volumes by ~40% and improved efficiency at scale. Operating in regulated, stakeholder-heavy environments built a strong foundation in platform thinking, reliability, & disciplined execution. Together, these experiences—consumer-scale iteration at SonyLIV and enterprise-grade systems at Ericsson—have shaped how I approach product work today. I’m particularly interested in problems involving scale, trust, incentives, and decision-making, which sit at the core of high-quality product organizations, regardless of domain. I hold an MBA from NMIMS Mumbai and a B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, complemented by certifications including CSPO®, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt®, Scrum Foundation, and AI Product Management. I’ve been recognized across roles for ownership, execution quality, and the ability to bring structure to complex problems. I’m a Grade 8 certified guitarist and chess enthusiast—interests that reinforce patience, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving. I aim to take on broader product scope and deeper strategic responsibility, contributing to teams where rigor, clarity, and durable impact matter.
