Group PM @ InMobi | Product Builder | Building AI Products Daily (Claude Code, Codex, n8n) | 250M+ DAU | ISB MBA

About

ISB MBA (Flagbearer Award, Top 1%) with 16 years building products from scratch where there is no existing playbook. I find user problems, run discovery, ship fast, and iterate with data. At InMobi, I lead go-to-market and 0-to-1 launches across 8 markets for Glance AI (250M+ DAU). I manage a 5-PM team across US, India, and China. OEM partners: Samsung, Motorola, Sharp, Xiaomi, Realme. Telco partners: Verizon (US), SoftBank (Japan). Two wins I'm proud of: when our setup wizard had 25% completion because users didn't understand the product, I redesigned onboarding — activation went 3X. When dormant users weren't coming back, I built a two-stage re-engagement flow — reactivation went 5X. I also analyzed ARPU across markets, found a significant differential favoring developed markets, and built the business case that shifted company strategy from India-first to US-first. Previously at Magicbricks, I noticed users uninstalled after finding a property and built Pay Rent via credit card to drive retention. Zero to INR 50Cr GMV. I build AI products daily — GrowFlow (Telegram task manager), WealthSage (financial planning), PlantSage (plant care), Sage AI (personal AI agent).
