Identified a gap in structured tech upskilling for Tier-2/3 India, built and launched TaknikAI (AI school for New Bharat) from scratch in less than 6 weeks, with zero initial capital Designed and executed zero-budget GTM experiments (organic distribution, community funnels, landing pages), generating 200+ waitlist signups and ~12–15% conversion to 25 paying beta users within the first cohort Defined product strategy and owned end-to-end execution: selected platform stack, launched 3 structured programs, hired and onboarded instructors, and led an 8-member cross-functional team across content, ops, and growth. Built early feedback and iteration loops via user interactions and cohort performance, improving onboarding clarity and increasing learner activation/engagement (qualitative + early-stage metrics) Analyzed operational and financial data across 40+ portfolio companies, identifying revenue leakages and inefficiencies; insights directly contributed to 6 investor updates and informed capital allocation and strategic decisions

Identified execution under pressure as the core gap in JEE prep through user research; built LastLapJEE from scratch for the final 20-day window. Validated demand via lean GTM (200+ waitlist, early paid users) before MVP build, then shipped and iterated using user feedback loops and performance data. Designed key features (CBT simulations, rank prediction, weakness analytics, and behavioral simulations) and optimized for outcomes, Noticeable achievements: score increment (112→168), rank shift(9k→3.8k), Lowest AIR mentored- 44. https://lastlapjeesprintt.web.app/

Inherited a chronic procurement problem unresolved by prior teams ,applied root-cause analysis to scope and frame the problem within the first week. Designed a 10% PM cost-reduction intervention, presented to senior leadership within 6 weeks. Awarded Best Employee. Built a real-time ops dashboard from scratch (SQL + Power BI) ,machine availability hit 96%, decision latency reduced by 30%. 200+ field staff adopted it in 4 weeks with no mandate.

About

IIT Delhi graduate with experience across ops, strategy, and building things from scratch. Over time, I’ve found myself naturally drawn to problems where things aren’t working as expected, figuring out what’s breaking, what users actually need, and how to improve outcomes in a meaningful way. Through years in the JEE ecosystem, I realized students don't struggle with knowledge as much as execution under pressure. I built LastLapJEE to solve this exact problem, taking it from a zero-budget demand validation experiment (130+ waitlist) to shipping and iterating with real users. Outside of work, I follow sports, enjoy reading, and like exploring how products are built and scaled. Currently exploring APM/PM opportunities across EdTech, FinTech, SaaS, and consumer products.
